Why do you think a lot of married couple end up in a divorce or annulment?

In the first five years of your relationship, you both feel so "in love" with each other. You found you partner fun, understanding and interesting. Then one day you'll just wake up and discovered he /she was no longer fun nor understanding and it was incredible how uninteresting she had become. Why do you think these things happen to married/engaged couples nowadays?

Most of the couples are making simple mistakes and the other won't accept those mistakes. Marriage must include some adjustment which was a main lack in couples. If they can adjust a little with their partner, they can live together for longer time. When they are in love, they accept everything. When in love they adjust for anything as they need to marry each other. But after love, they won't adjust because they has to live for longer period. If they solve their problems before marriage say likes and dislikes, they won't get divorce. Every couple has to tell the other one about their dislikes in them.

hmm thts true in the west...i think its because of the lack of understanding between husband and wife...the imp aspect of any relationship is understanding and if there is no understanding there is no love n nothing......But real understanding brings true love among couples...many couples fail to understand each others feelings and they endup with divorce....hapy mylotting

Marriage ends so easily now a days. The divorce rate is very high. I believe over 60 percent in the United States and even higher for certain professionals who are married. I am a married woman myself. I am in my second marriage of 4 years right now with a five year old boy. Being married has its ups and downs and I really believe that sacrifice and compromising are key issues to a relationship surviving. Communication is also an important thing in a marriage. I think it could be possible that when two people can't trust each other enough to express themselves in the bad times then that could lead to confusion and pain. It is a give and take. I think that divorce comes easily for a lot of people and maybe things could get worked on before giving up so readily.
