Leke Alder says in-laws, cultural differences are major causes of divorce

The relationship expert and life coach says from his experience, in-laws form part of the major causes of divorce.

The seasoned relationship expert was one of the speakers at the 4th edition of Mind the Gap X on Saturday, December 10, 2016, and during one of his insightful talks mentioned a number of things that have caused many marriages to crumble both in Nigeria and abroad.

According to Mr. Alder, the major causes of divorce include money issues, manipulative tendencies, selfishness, clash of cultural philosophies, emotional and physical abuse, in-laws and unforgiveness.

For men, two problems seem to stand out from the list.

Delivering his 'Letter to Jill' lecture, Mr. Alder says "men are particularly prone to money and sex problems.

"When men don't have money, they begin to malfunction in marriage. They become irritable and extra-sensitive.

"As per sex in marriage, the make up of [a] man is such that denial makes him prone to alternative sources of supply."

According to the author and popular consultant, that is not a justification for male indiscretions but "it's just a statement of reality."
