My wife and I were talking about this the other night. We know some couples who are happy like us. We know some couples who are miserable. We know a lot of couples who are somewhere in between.
Sometimes it was the husbands who were the problem. Sometimes it was the wives. Sometimes they just got married too young.
Here are the reasons we've found:
1) Men marrying women because of their sex appeal, not because of who they are (I have friends who have admitted as much).
2) Women marrying men because of their earning potential, not because of who they are (My wife has friends who have admitted as much).
3) Couples getting married immediately after graduation, rather than learning to live on their own and discovering themselves.
4) Couples getting married "because it seemed like it was time to get married."
5) Couples getting married out of sheer inertia, 2-3 years into a relationship.
Any others you can think of?

6) people assuming that 'marriage' brings about changes such as settling down, no more flirting etc.. just because it's marriage
7) people having expectations without communicating them, then getting angry that the spouse is not a mind reader
8) women not listening to men's input....assuming a man has no feelings and disregarding when he states his needs/wants
9) the marriage becoming all about the kids, forgetting the spouse

People getting married way to fast instead of dating them for awhile and getting to know them. Instead they get divorced because they were not the person they married lol.

The person you marry should be your best friend. Most people do not know this.

people marry for convience not love. it is all about taking
advantage of the other person, greed, lack of trust, no goals in life.

Pregnancy, peer pressure from family and friends, fear of never finding the "one" and settling for what is there... these are personal experiences.
