The Top 9 Reasons Why Some Marriages Fail!

  2. Financial problems
  3. A lack of commitment to the marriage
  4. A dramatic change in priorities
  5. Infidelity
  6. Failed expectations or unmet needs
  7. Addictions and substance abuse
  8. Physical, sexual or emotional abuse
  9. Lack of conflict resolution skills
A recent university study suggests that time, sex and money pose the three biggest obstacles to satisfaction in the lives of newly married couples. The study found that debt brought into marriage, the couples' financial situation, balancing job and family, and frequency of sexual relations were of greatest concern to those ages 29 and under. Those age 30 and over shared with their younger cohorts the concerns of balancing job, family and the frequency of sexual relations as problem areas along with constant bickering and expectations about household tasks.
