Sometimes stress within marriages can lead to depression in one or both partners. If one partner is depressed, it's very likely that they'll take out their frustration on the other partner and cause them to become depressed, as well. Depression in husbands can sometimes occur because of the inability to provide; if he loses his job, he'll feel useless that his wife has to provide for him and their children. Divorce can also lead to depression in both sexes. They can cause stress for the parents; paying child support and preparing divorce papers and living arrangements can be very overwhelming. Poverty can also be a cause for marital depression. The father especially is put into a whirl of depression because of the inability to find a well-paying job. The parents may become hopeless and constantly wish they could provide a better life for their children.Pictures from http://www.deviantart.com/.
