What does "irretrievably broken" mean in Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce?

According to the news blog FlDivorce, when a couple's marriage is "irretrievably broken," the couple's relationship can no longer be restored to its previous state. In other words, the couple has disagreements that cannot be resolved, and these differences will stay between them for as long as they are married. Because of this, the only option available to the couple is to formally dissolve their marriage.

Examples of irretrievable broken include, but aren't restricted to:

• A spouse engages in an affair and falls in love with someone else.
• Loss of confidence or safety in the other person
• Differences in viewpoints on parenting, politics, religion, and finances
• Disagreements about moving or careers
• Conflicts and differences in personality
• Having children or not wanting to have children
• Lack of mental or physical closeness
• Lack of communication
• Differing perspectives on values and lifestyles
• Constantly arguing
• S*xual, physical, and psychological abuse

In Florida, the law doesn't say that both people in a marriage have to agree to separate for the court to issue a divorce order. To formally break up a marriage, only one partner needs to say that it is over and can't be fixed.
