Abandonment of the family -- can't take the responsibility

Many people these days don't get married with the idea of "forever" in mind. They aren't in it for the "long haul", and tend to bail at the first sign of a problem, or when they don't get their way. If you are in it for the long haul, there is going to have to be a lifetime of give-and-take, by each partner. A marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship, and both partners have to be willing to pull more than their share from time to time.
In today's society, with divorces being so easily attained, too many people see that as the first option rather than actually working out a problem. And then, kids learn from their parents that it's OK to take the easy way out, and another generation is raised to look to divorce as the answer.
I grant you, that there are many relationships in which divorce IS the best thing, but not enough people spend enough energy trying to solve the simple issues and make it work. It's a real commitment.

Not understanding the concept of the marriage relationship. Treating it like a purchase of a TV, then getting buyers remorse. In this world of instant everything they want their relationships to work right away or they get a new one. Missing entirely the moments that make life lived with another being worth all the effort ,because they never get that far. Marriage is not a fifty fifty thing it has to be 100%/100%, sacrificing for another's well being is love. Love seems to be missing from the ceremony getting mixed up with infatuation,lust,crush,need.
The words should be studied and read over before committing.
"For better,for worse, for richer, for pooer. In sickness and health till death do us part. They are not just pretty words they are meant to have the literal meaning."

During the course of a marriage people lose focus on their relationship. Also, when people get older they can grow in different directions or even stagnate and NOT grow at all.
American society has made divorce perfectly acceptable. When people opt to marry, too many of them fail to look very far into the future. They need to ask hard questions about goals and preferences.

The advent of the 'no-fault' divorce.
Used to be, you had to have a reason to get divorced; abuse, adultery, etc.
Now, "I just don't much feel like being married" is good enough.
People just don't take it seriously. They stand at the altar, with one foot already out the door.

People give up too easily. Everyone expects their partner to be perfect and to never have a fight and that just doesn't happen. Don't settle- but try to be realistic, as well.
