A typical U.S. marriage, on average ends in Divorce within just 7 years. Women are more likely to file for Divorce than men. The Divorce rate for heterosexual couples is double than that of same-sex couples. Divorce rates have doubled over the past decades among couples ages 50 plus. As you can see Divorce can affect any type of couple. In California alone, the Divorce rate currently is 40%-49% per 1000 people. The question to ask is, what brings couples to the point of Divorce? According to the “Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts” the answer is:
-Basic Incompatibility

The reason I return time and time again is knowledgeable employees and the respect I am treated with. I also think that the noncondensending matter in which I was treated was a prime factor.
