No, children can not cause divorce. Parents inability to reach consensus on parenting issues may, although I would presume that to be merely a symptom of other issues and incompatability in general.
Children in and of themselves do not cause divorce but the pressures of disciplining kids, finding the balance of time for family and work, two income families or even one income not being enough can surely lead to discontent in any marriage. That is why marriage and children are best undertaken by mature adults and not by kids themselves.
No, children are not the cause of divorce. However, the stress from having a child with a disability or other issues can create a situation that can test even strong relationships. And if the relationship has issues...those issues are now quantified.
Also, parents need to be on the same page regarding discipline...if there is conflict there...the marriage is in trouble.

This is my thought, as well.
If there are other problems in the marriage, children can become a "wedge" issue. Plus, some folks are not cut out to be parents (even though no one ever seems to admit this). Not everyone embraces the responsibility that goes along with being a decent parent.
So children can not cause a Divorce but work or money can?
I disagree! If work can cause a crack in a marriage; so can children. Some rearing techniques are deal breakers for
certain individuals.
Then why'd you ask?
Who says work can cause a divorce? If a person puts too much priority on work, and not enough on his or her relationship at home, that's the fault of the person, not the job. Really, anything that you could point to that could "cause" a divorce would still come back to the 2 people in the marriage and how they deal with it.

I agree with highlighted portion of your post. I do not think it is negative to say or admit people are not cut out to be parents. I believe it to be like any skilled job (so to speak) it is challenging and exhausting.

Of course - but that is not the child's fault. The CHILD didn't cause the problem, the adults not agreeing on parenting caused the problem.
