Many married people have had sex with different partners before they got married and whenever a domestic problem arises, one tends to think of the pleasures with the previous partner in compromise of the other.

More so, many married people are products of separated parents and they have minimal expectations of their marriage to last long (Raffel, 1998). According to Raffel (1998), poverty leads to divorce due financial constraints and worlds materialistic nature. Separation is also common amongst couples lacking team building skills as there is poor communication between the partners.
