There are many reasons for divorce, adultery, abuse, financial reasons… what you wear isn’t generally considered one of the usual ones, but it certainly can cause major arguments among couples that lead to divorce.

For example, many husbands don’t like what their wives go out wearing when they’re not with them, especially when it shows too much flesh, such as leg or cleavage. This causes heated arguments, which often leads to the wife leaving wearing whatever she wants just to spite her husband, even if that means she’s wearing one of her most revealing black dresses that she might save only for going out with her husband.

It’s all about jealousy, and the husband needs to trust his wife and not get too worried about what she wears.

The same can be said for the wife though, as many arguments ensue over what the man wears when the woman doesn’t like it. This isn’t usually because something is considered revealing, more often this is because the woman doesn’t like what her husband has chosen to wear as he hasn’t made an effort for her or a special occasion.

What you wear is important, both for you and your spouse, but you should always take your partner’s feelings into consideration.
