marriages fail for a lot of reasons.

1.the foundation of the marriage

2.the God factor,as in not involving Him from the onset.why?except the Lord builds the house the labourers labour but in vain(Ps.127:1)

3.Couples dont see marriage as a project that MUST not fail,hence you dont jump into it without counting the cost-if rush into it,you 'll rush out

4.Couples are not able to manage the good & bad times.

5.Lack of mutual respect

6.Financial differences

7.Sexual reasons/infidelity

8.Absence of patience

9.husband not ready to LOVE/wife not ready to submit

10.Spiritual reasons as in warfare(the spirit husband/spirit wife of which a lot of people are ignorant of .check http://nairaland.com/nekko8 for more on this)

11.Unfriendly friends

12.In-law wahala

13.Prayerlessness

Addendum:for singles:dont rush into marriage;seek proper counsel;be sure about whom you plan to marry;believe in God and commit your plans to Him;i believe all will be well.

You've said it all,but no 4 could be modified to also read a lack of willingness by couples to make the marriage work,NO MATTER WHAT

financial problems

, Hmmmm, there are 1001 reasons, but in most cases its as a result of marrying the wrong person,
Many mistake Love for admiration, lust , respect obligation etc . A marriage of two compatible people founded on TRUE LOVE never fails.

When reality finally dawns on the couples

Because people put God last in their marriage and other reason like hell women who can nag u 2 death.

how abt a man that refuses to be a man in the home.
how about a man not being real?
how about a man not loving the woman the way he ought to be and the way God has told us to, cos if we do, nothing the woman does will make us allow the marriage to fall thru the crack and become and statistics

marriages fail because people change and change is the only constant thing in like , so

marriage fail for many reason, most time is the way a woman take her home. a man must put his wife above everything and a woman must put his husband over everything. if you put other thing above your partner, you have failed marriage.

2 Topic,

Lack of communication. It's very important in any relationship.

Economic Hardship

this na my david. you get sense no be small. make u no marry yeye girl o becos your head na big one.

i think most people forget what marriage is al;l about and some tell lies that cant easily be ignored.

Marriages fail cos both parties stop being patient, tolerant and accomodating!! At the time of courtship, both parties were willing to do almost anything for each other but after a while they begin to take each other for granted. Though I strongly believe to a very large extent that the success or failure of a marriage, lies in the hands of the woman.

NL femi nazis are going to be up in arms very soon but that is fact no man is big enough to destroy a marriage a woman sets out to build. like chaircover said yesterday if most women understand a man it is posible to eat out of your hands

A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. Proverbs 14:1 (NLV)

THANKS ALL FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS. I AM WRITING A BOOK ON "ETERNAL MARRIAGE" I guess I have got really good materials from your responses!

Among the reasons are:

1. Lack of companionship

2. Lack of commitment

3. Sex denial

4. Lack of communication- may be to settle defferences or to let go

5. Infidelity

6. Lack of trust

7. Lack of compromise

8. Love of money- in the sense that if money finishes, love disappears

There are lots and lots but to mention but a few.

Marriage failed based on diffferent reasons, such as

* Financial Melt down
* Lack of Trust
* Lack of Understanding & Communications
* Lack of Love & Committment
* Sex Satification
* Family Background
* Immaturity - Sense of Responsibilities
* Wrong Reasons - Age, Peer Pressure groups, family pressure etc
* Not following the God's Manual - The Bible

I have difference story of why Marriage faled such as
- Because of Close Up
- Who to do a Job
- Mother-In-Laws Talk
- Wife/Husband Jobs
- Who feed/take care of the family (Children)
And so on.

The questions, You and ur spouse is the best person who can make things work and set a good FOUNDATION on how you want your family to runs. If there is any problem, just sit down and settle it among 2 of U only without outsider.

People do not stop growing up until they get really old and incapable of doing so. In the process of growing up, their vision, taste, thinking and principles also change with time. It can become a problem when two people live together but grow up in a different direction and the marriage fall apart because of too many differences. I think, in marriage two should work hard to remain on the same course and the bond becomes invariably stronger.

there are many reasons for marriage failure,
firstly, both men and women as face with three things with are LOVE, LUST and LIES.many men does n't know the difference btw love and lust.
what is lust itself? these are caused by ladies themseves,when they appear too attractive,by their dressing and so on.
And when getting married to such a lady,such marriage will later turn into a marriage without foundation and later collapse.
What is love itself too?
true love stand the test of time,if the felling for the opposite sex is love and not lust,if such a relationship end in marriage, they will surely have an happy home.

if a marriage fails cos of bad in laws, that means the couples were never a couple, cos you both ought to love one another and damn the others
