What are the causes of marriage failures? Restrict your answer to Christian marriages please.?

Answer 1

1. Infidelity/Adultery
2. Money problems: not enough. This would be one of the biggest causes.
3. Boredom: the fun is gone
4. Irreconciable differences
5. Loss of a child

Answer 2

Communication, $$$$$$, Control, Infedelity, Selfishness, Self Centeredness, Self Absorbed.

These are all words that can be considered for failures in either a Christian marriage or other type of marriages! The results are the same no matter what religious affiliation you are.

Communication and $$$$ are the biggest factors in the break up of marriages. Ask any counselor out there!

Answer 3

I would say that misscomunication is the main one.
It doesn't matter what sort if problems are dished out through a marriage. If your not communicating well in order to sort through them they will just get worse.
Unfortunately, some people are hard to have heart to hearts with about problems. That gives the other person more responsibility to hold it together.
I am the passive in the marriage. I know my hubby blows up and is hard to talk to and agree on with certain things. I take it in stride day by day.
Eventually finding ways to get things through his thick skull.
Good luck!

Answer 4

When my grand-parents celebrated their 60th (Yes 60th) Wedding anniversary, my father asked them to give us their secret! How they had made it work and still love each other deeply after 60 years. My grand-mother didn't have to think about it! She told us it was about making what mattered (Their relationship) matter, never turn problems/difficulties/worries into a barrier between them, instead deal with them as a couple, be truthful to each other, and make keeping up with their marriage vows their priority at all times, be loving.caring and kind to each other, comfort one another when tragedy struck (They lost 3 children) guide each other when needed (He was very ill for a while and she had to be his eyes as he couldn;t see for months) and leave the rest to God.

These were great words of wisdom! I think that too many people leave problems/worries etc. come between them, they feel under stress and take it on their spouse. I also think that keeping up with marriage vows can become too easily overlooked at times, resulting in affairs etc.

So another cause of marriage failure would be (In my mind) not work at it! My grand-parents nurtured their love. In fact she was dead 3 weeks when he followed her, that's how much they adored each other.

Answer 5

Lack of trust which leads to all other 100 causes of marriage failure. Suspicion is the poison of love.

Answer 6

Am a woman so i will say the biggest failure is when man has a high expectation from a woman which he knows he himself cannot meet it and not forgetting she is a human being also.Everything in marriage has to be shared
e.g helping her in house, giving out ideas and not that you take the commander role.

Answer 7

Christian marriages simply reflect society's. The matriarchy simply wanted to legitimise adultery and it did so in society and the Church just hasn't combated that yet. If it ever will- most churches have embraced adultery just as the matriarchy wanted. Funny, eh? adultery is wrong for thousands of years, whilst it suited women, but as soon as whoring suits them then the church adopts that policy.------- I'm not saying there's anything wrong with whoring,,,,,,,

Answer 8

Failure to communicate. Marry someone you actually like as a human being. As a christian you assume everyone you meet in church actually puts God first, ain't true. Some people go there to find a mate who won't cheat on them, beat them etc.
Don't fool yourself, believing god chose a person for you, open your eyes and see this person for what they are before you marry them.

Answer 9

1- Disrespect
2- Lack of communication
3- Adultery
4- Willing to change the personality, character of the other
5- Financial problems
6- Love gone with the wind
7- Tolerance
8- Forgiveness

Answer 10

being smacked around for sixteen years. I could have avoided infedelity, just because I am christian . I married at fifteen and left him when I turned thirty one. Why?? because, being punched in the nose , smacked, and called names daily in front of our children. Is NOT what God had intended when we came together in marriage. It took me sixteen years, to realize that God would not Hate me, Nor be disappointed in me, If I left such and abusive person.
