Marriage failure refers to the process whereby the relationship between a married couple erodes, such that they cannot ordinarily restore their relationship. There are many reasons why some marriages last and others break down. Here are some of the most common reasons for marriage failure:

• Lack of intimacy and sex: This is one of the most common reasons for marriage failure. Over time, a lack of intimacy and sex can lead to a buildup of resentment and frustration, which can ultimately lead to the breakdown of the relationship.

• Infidelity: Whether emotional or physical, an affair is a common reason for marriage failure. The trust, respect, loyalty, and communication are so damaged that many couples decide to divorce because they can’t find a way to get past the betrayal.

• Financial problems: Having a hard time making ends meet or having a partner who overextends spending may cause stress in a marriage. Unresolved financial challenges are one of the top reasons for divorce.

• Domestic violence: Physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse are all reasons marriages fail. Abuse is never acceptable in a marriage.

• Inequality between partners: Feeling pigeonholed into a gender stereotype in marriage may be a sign of inequality. Unequal distribution of household chores and child care responsibilities may translate into conflict and resentment for one or both partners.

• Inadequate preparation for marriage: Little to no pre-marriage preparation can make cohabitation overwhelming. Having a hard time living with your spouse is a leading cause of divorce.

• Lack of clear boundaries in the relationship: Lack of clear boundaries in the relationship can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.

• Religious differences: Religious differences can cause conflict in a marriage.

Its important to note that the reasons for failed marriages are complex, and most participants cite multiple causes for the decision.
