According to the Daily Mail, the study, which was carried out by The Co-operative Legal Services, surveyed 2,000 married couples, including 800 divorcees and discovered that arguments over how often couples see parents and families played a factor in almost a third of marriage breakdowns.
Rows over how to bring up the children caused problems for a quarter of married couples, while disagreements over household chores, career aspirations and holidays were also factors in couples splitting up.
Interestingly, half of all couples never discuss where to live, or whether to have children, before they tie the knot, which could lead to problems further down the relationship.
While issues such as infidelity and selfishness were the biggest reasons for marriages breaking down, lifestyle habits, the amount of alcohol partners drink, and where the couple lives were also found to be among the biggest reasons for tension in a marriage.
Of those surveyed, 11% blamed interfering in-laws for the breakdown of their marriage, while 8% blamed political beliefs. A further 9% felt they married too young and 13% blamed their incompatibility.
Meanwhile, 31% of those polled said rows over whether to have children caused tensions, while 25% argued over how to bring up children.
Christina Blacklaws, Director of Family Law at The Co-operative Legal Services, said: "When getting engaged, couples spend so much effort planning for the wedding day of their dreams that they lose sight of the next 50 years of married life.
"Sadly, this is the underlying reason for the majority of divorces, as couples with different ideas and expectations start to drift apart and no longer connect a few years down the track.
"It doesn’t have to be as formal as pre-marital counselling, but couples certainly stand a much better chance of a long and happy marriage if they spend time talking to each other about what they each want out of life and how they want to live their lives together before they get married."
