But sorry, I'm not willing to give completely. I think that if the question is what causes the most divorces, while finances may be the answer most often given (I wonder, is it?), communication is still often (not always) just as much a reason as finances, if not a more fundamental one.

I guess I should have made it more clear. I was asking what do you think the most important component is to a happy and successful marriage. I was asking because I was just wondering why so many marriages end in divorce with finances being the number one cause of it. I know communication keeps coming up and I agree, it is very important. Now, is it possible to have great communication, but at the same time live check to check struggling to make ends meet? I think that would cause a serious problem.
