there are a millions reasons. but one of my major reasons is if you and you partner live in the sort of society that frowns upon inter-racial / inter-religious couples. it's a shame because i've seen a lot of couples suffer because of this. many failed couples at least have the potential to change or fix their problems. but sometime you can't change the way society thinks, let alone your in-laws. many marriages and relationships (all over the world) just don't work because they are unable to fight this uphill battle that has been going on for generations.

Most relationships do not work b/c people's expectations change once they reach that level. For instance, when you get married the wife wants the husband to stay around the house and watch over her and make sure she is safe and happy. The man wants his wife to cook and clean and make sure he is happy. Expectations come with titles. Wife = stay at home and cook all day.... while Husband = go to work and mow the grass on the weekend. You have to discuss what you want out of your relationship, otherwise your thoughts of what he "should" be will over shadow what he is and you could end up disappointed.

Well, I'm reading this great book right now called Five Love Languages and it's really enlightening. It talks about how you might really love someone but unless you're communicating that in a "language" that they understand, they may feel unloved and unfulfilled. It might be acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, or physical touch. Some people respond to one more than another and rarely do both members of a couple communicate the same way, so it helps to know which one your mate responds to.
I think another thing that I've been guilty of is being kinder and more considerate to strangers than I am to my spouse. You have to try to treat the person you love and live with as politely as you do the waitress at the diner (hopefully you're polite to her).

Becuase People cant just live on one job anymore both people have to work so they dont see eachother that much. I know alot of people like that. I useto work at night and my boyfriend worked durring the day and he decided one night that he couldnt wait for me to get home from work at 5 am so he slept with my neighbor. we had an apartment back then and we dont live there anymore. I dont work anymore I just stay home with the kids. I have been trying to find a job but there arent many in michigan. We cant even afford our house payment and he makes 13.50 an hour. We have two kids and I realy would rather be with them but realy I need to get a job if im gonna keep our house. People just dont have time for their loved ones anymore. Everyone is always working.

Increasingly, we are raised with the expectation that everything in our lives must be fun at all times. We seek entertainment and stimulation or we quickly become bored. Therefore, when marriage stops being fun and starts being work, people bail.

Disagreements about money, work, and kids. For me, it's the fact that I wish that my boyfriend didn't have any family and/or friends, but me and our daughter, because for example: his sister does nothing but use him, and be a *****, his mother wants to go on our dates with us, his brother was and still is a ho, and his so-called best friends use his car, go out clubing late at night, and try to influence him to break up with me. Without all of those other elements in our life, our lives would be perfect, because it would just be my boyfriend, me,and our daughter. That should be our happy family, and we're all friends as well.

soem people change and their partner cant deal about it. some people cheat, some are not forgiving, not understanding, not faithful... they are simply not satisfied.... there are also some external factors that affect the realtionship, like time, distance, people taht surround them... the realtionship cant be strong if these factors keep hitting them..
