Marriages fall out everyday.Couples say that they tried but it didn’t work out. Theyare heart broken. Slowly, they heal their emotional scars and try again. But the hurt of the first marriage still lingers somewhere and transforms into their lives again.

I think,aside from love and trust, communication is a vital ingredient in making a marriage successful. You have to talk to each other, especially when there are differences or issues that you have to settle. Sleeping on some issues that you think is not that important would sometimes lead to bigger problems if not taken care of or addressed immediately.

Marriages fail because people get married for the wrong reasons. Some people get married in order to satisfy their lust. While it is true that satisfaction of lust is part of married life, marriage is much more than only that. Some other people get married for love, security etc… These are not the correct reasons either. Love is found in one’s own self and not in marriage.If one marries in order to find love, then one will tend to get his or her marriage a failure.

In no way I am sure I know all the answer but to what I've seen till now and I love to observe people, not only the present but the past as I'm in love to psychology is that: People stay together, date and get married just to not be alone. Just because society demands. Not everyone but those who seek company because of this are not in love and might have to breakup sooner or later. People think that loyalty is just a word, we can't just date or get married and cheat whenever we want, we must end before adding another person to our lives. People don't live together. We should live together at least 2 years before getting married cause the first 6 months will have some unhappy moments, there's adjustment and really, only after this long time I find out I was in love for real. If one can handle the other's habits, super annoying little things then be sure it's love. And then get married

I think most marriages end because of lack of commitment. If we really are committed into someone or even into something, we will do or give our best not to ruin it. We'll going to think a thousand times before acting on something that we know may affect that commitment in any way. And if a couple lacks commitment, they give up easily even on simple things or the usual problems that every married couples encounter during their lives.

Marriages fail because individuals are selfish. They want to believe that they are independent, and so their Help-Mates get tired of giving needlessly. It seems to be a paradox; because I went through a painful ordeal to make sure I AM unforgettably dependent, and I can't get my Help-Mate BECAUSE I would depend on her! What each married person needs to remember: your life is no longer 'about you' (not to say it ever was, except maybe when you were a young child). The cross you must carry is all your spouse's doing.

Hi friend, now a days couples are taking decisions in a fast manner, they don't have enough time for conversations. Particularly, they don't have proper trust and understanding which is requires for a happy married life, so only most of the marriages are failing in this days. If both of the couples have a good conversation and compromise with each other, they will live a happy life forever.
