Much of what causes divorce is the natural disconnect between couples as time passes by and complacency sets in. Familiarity breeds contempt, they say. When you see the same person every day and every month throughout the year, one is bound to get bored.

Some have argued that marriage is a sure way to kill romance between two lovers. This perhaps explains why two people could marry, divorce and then start seeing each other again behind the scenes. Maybe distance is important in a marriage because it creates a feeling of craving for the other person and builds on the element of mystery.
