Yes, if you let it.

Yes - long hours etc. Working away - one person feeling left out. Lots of things about a job can wreck a marriage but only if you let it.

If the marriage isn't strong enough, if the 2 involved don't "want" to try hard enough....if the job requires one to do something the other considers less than moral or represents something against the others beliefs? Then yes, it most definitely can.
Sometimes it actually comes down to having to choose between them, and that decision must be based on who or what is the more reasonable and healthy thing to keep in their life.

Yes, mine did in a way. I worked very long hours (compulsory over time) and was never home, I also met a lot more interesting people and learnt that I had not achieved any personal goals of mine, and I was just living a hum-drum existence. My ex-husband carried out an affair while I was working the very long hours, so in a way, my job was to blame. But in the end we realised that neither of us was happy, and we divorced because of his adultery.

The job could be demanding....
But if you comply to that demand, it could wreck your marriage.
I did mine and in my case I did not even recognize it till you are there. Despite that the job was fun, you won't enjoy it anymore that much after....
It's all about a good balance and good communication with your partner (listen more often).

If a job breaks up a marriage there were cracks in it to begin with!

yes it can
you need to talk about it and your feelings
my honey works very hard he is a steel worker moves tons of steel a day and most days he is very sore and tired i stand on my feet all day as a nurse so we compromise
during the week i cook and clean and on weekends when he can take it easy he does it
it always cuts down on the sex life
getting up at 330 means bed at 8pm and sleeping by 815 so the weekends is our time no kids at all

You need to weigh whats more important to you. You make the decisions. How it ends up is your choice, can't always have the cake and eat it too, some sacrifices have to be made.

stuff like that can save a marriage...
