Many marriages end because of outside interference. Why is this?

I wouldn't get married to someone if they didn't get along with my family and friends.
At the same time, my friends wouldn't dictate what I did if it were un-reasonable.

No.
I did ask a few close, trusted friends their opinion before I got married, because in the past, they had been able to see things about my various boyfriends that I had missed. I wouldn't have cancelled the wedding over what they told me unless it was something earth-shattering (and proved true), but I at least wanted their opinion. Sometimes, if I need advice on something, I'll ask their opinions. Beyond that, no...they don't have an influence on my marriage.
Meddling friends and family members only have as much influence on a marriage as the couple allows them to have.

Hell No, my friends have NO influence on my marriage what so ever. They are free to say what they want but at the end of the day, i'm the one who has to go home to my husband and I have a mind of my own to make my own decisions.

It does not make sense for my friends or his to have any affect in our marriage. It is OUR marriage OUR own personal lives. We are private people when dealing with our marriage matters so NO our friends or family does not influence us at all when it comes to making decisions on our marriage.

Our friends have some influence - we love them. There are always challenges blending your family and friends in marriage. The influence matters most if it is negative.
My new husband and I make a conscious decision to keep our friends, be fair with the time we spend with both and avoid the negative people.

i think married couples should try to find friends who are supportive of the marriage and family life. in the beginning of my marriage we had friends who were single and who didn't respect our relationship. many fights were caused by the problems that we allowed these people to bring into our relationship. once we realized that we couldn't be the strong committed couple that we wanted to be with these people in our life we made tough choices and cut them loose. we now have a larger group of friends that we trust to bring positive influences into our marriage. they all have been married for many years with children and all our interests are the same.

Yes, well..they tried anyways. My friends were immature and didn't like that I didnt want to go out and party and drink until the wee hours of the morning with them anymore because I met someone that I wanted to settle down and have a family with. So, needless to say I dumped them all because I feel what I have is much more valuable than that.

nobody interferes with my marriage but me and him. My family (esp. mother) trys to, but ultimately it's based on our feelings and understanding. I thought most marriages end because of finances and people having unrealistic expectations.

Because those people did not think it through and work it out before they call it off.
Once you married, you are not only married the man or woman, but the whole gang....(family, friends.....) You have to balance it all to keep everyone happy, including yoursefl.
