Abstract
The personal and family consequences of the ever-increasing ratio of divorce have focused global attention on formulating tactics to avert marital breakdown. However, the increase in the rate of divorce cases indicates that its core reasons have not yet been tackled. The most recurrently asked question in the literature around divorce is this: Why do couples shatter so soon, even after marrying with high prospects? This study endeavors to find answers for this question from a family psychological perspective. Using a basic interpretative qualitative method and phenomenological research paradigm, this study has provided very personal experiences of 20 newlywed divorced participants and also their sole vision on crucial key psychological factors for marital distress and divorce. One superordinate theme derived in the analysis involves intrapsychic resistance to accommodate life cycle transitions. This research has vital inferences for identifying the challenges faced by contemporary couples on the newlywed life cycle transition.
