Because the success of a marriage depends on both the husband and the wife equally. Someone wasn't willing to work to make things better.

Because people get married for the wrong reasons and don't understand what marriage is . Love can be fleeting , but marriage is a contract for life . If you don't understand the fact that the passion will subside but the marriage will continue , then you are in trouble . Too many people change marriages as often as underwear because they think it's about some utopia that really doesn't exist . It's a partnership and many things need to be present to sustain it . Like other partnerships it needs to have friendship , loyalty , dedication and the ability to ride out the bad times . Passion is probably the least needed ingrediant but is the major reason most people marry .

marriages end in divorce now a days because people aren't committed to do what it takes to be married for 50 years like your parents & grandparents were. Life & relationships aren't fun all the time. It's easy to love someone when everythings great but when things aren't going good that's when you know if you have a diamond in the ruff in your partner. My parents were married for 62 years before they passed away about 3 years apart & I was under the understanding that you put up with almost anything to make it work. I put up with cheating & dishonesty & I realized that you can't make a marriage work all alone. I stayed in this terrible marriage for my children's sake & finally my wife started cheating again & this time with my former friends. So in my opinion its when one person has morals & honors the vows he/she took with the other but the other doesn't have the same values.
Two adults shouldn't make the committment if they are going to quit or one is going to quit when the going gets tough!!!!

Most marriages fail because the participants did not do their homework. They didn't discuss problems that would come up in marriage and how they would deal with them. They didn't discuss their views on money and how, and who, it should be handled. How many children they want, should the wife stay home until they were in school, what religion they will follow, where they want to live. etc. A second major problem is giving up instead of working on it. Marriage is like everything it needs upkeep. Just like a house, there is constant need of attention to details to keep it standing.

Because marriage as an institution was a partnership that enabled two people to do what one could not, financially and emotionally care for the family. In hard times two people were necessary. In a wealthy country, or a country with public assistance-- partnerships have become irrelevant. A single woman or man can raise a family, that was nearly impossible in times past. Therefore, while two people are still neccessary to conceive, that two person partnership is no longer a necessity for the families survival, therefore it is becoming extinct.

Because people do not realise that a marriage includes ups and downs. If they think of "magical fairy lala land" when they are getting married then they are sure to be disappointed and that may lead to frustration, fights and ultimately divorce.
A good recipe for marriage is the realisation that you will not always get what you want and that sometimes you need to make your partner happy even though you are not happy to do so (tired, bored whatever).
When you make it your mission in life to love your partner and make them happy then you will automatically get it back.

Because a lot of time people are desperate to have someone in their lives to love them (also the reason so many young people have babies) and they marry to find that good feeling. It only lasts a little time and then they think there's so much better out there and split. The hurt and expense of the divorce then sours them and they never find anyone else that suits them. It's sad, really. It needed to start with loving themselves and letting time take its course.

because people think that a happy marriage just happens. they arent prepared for the hard work it takes. and they give up at the first sign of trouble. divorce is easier than trying to make something work. people also rush into marriage knowing they're doing the wrong thing. they dont enter it with a true heart. they arnt being true to themselves or to their partner.

Because vows are not serious enough for some people and life sometimes deals you a right bad hand!
Have never been married and I don't know if I could actually say the 'words'! If it hurts your heart, mind, body or soul to stay, then I think you should just walk!
