Today, the first Monday of the year, is apparently touted as the worst day for couples. Legal experts deem the first day of the week of a year as the most popular day for divorce.

Website DivorceDepot states that finances, alcohol, in-laws, and fights over cooking and gift buying as the biggest marriage strainers during this time of the year, Daily Express reported.

DivorceDepot reveals that last year divorce rates rose by 35 percent and this year too, it's likely to skyrocket, blame it on the stress of the new year.
