Why do marriages fail by Ann E. Smith Marriage is not easy, by all accounts. The reality is that even happy marriages require work. As marriage is all about compromise, trust and respect, it is easy to see why it can be challenging. Marriage can also be fulfilling. There is nothing quite like a true partner in life. But with that being the case, why is the divorce rate so high all over the world? Why do marriages fail? Below are some of the main reasons. Oftentimes, though, it is not just one thing but a combination of factors that contribute to the failure of a marriage. * Marriage requires a great deal of work and commitment. Many people are unwilling to put a great deal of effort into it. One of the main reasons that marriages fail is that people go into it thinking it is going to be the same as when they dated. Marriage may just be the next step for young people who think they are in love. They have had a great time dating, and have no idea how much things will change when they marry. Once the honeymoon is over and the newness wears off, a marriage requires work and commitment for it to grow and mature. It is nothing like dating. Let's look at an example. Your boyfriend may be full of charm when you date him, but he may be hiding his dark moods from you. Or his sloppy habits. Once you are married, he can let his guard down and be himself. That is where the problems arise. Once the marriage is sealed, many husbands and wives start showing their true colors. They are not quite as agreeable as they once were. They are not easy to live with, and they want their way all of the time. When the realities of marriage kick in and the glamour fades, many people get overwhelmed. They were more in love with being in love than with their spouse. They would rather just call it quits than work through issues. Sometimes marriages go well for a number of years, and then hit a rocky patch. What if one person in the marriage cannot

    As stated in our text, various factors can bind married couples together, such as economic interdependencies, legal, social and moral constraints, relationship, and amongst other things. In the recent years some of these factors have diminished their strengths. The modern generation sees marriage in a different perspective altogether. Individuals today feel they are stable independently, they do not need to rely on their spouse for emotional or financial support. Many are career driven and soar to conquer their dreams over settling down with a family. Such untraditional views have increased divorce rates.…

    Marriage isn’t something that normally goes wrong. It starts to go wrong once one of the spouses gets bored or unhappy with their other half. Then they try to say the marriage by reading books like, “Think Like A Man”. Then when things go sour that’s when the spouse brings other people into the equation. Adding gas to an already lite fire, it’s inevitable what comes next. The cheating, arguments, fighting, emotional break downs, and then separation if so lucky tears the love and relation apart. So marriage isn’t the best thing to do in life, however if you’re looking for the experience of a life time go on, Get Trapped.…

    An Overloaded Institution

    Hey Joani, I really enjoyed reading your post. I will have to agree with you that one of the reasons divorce is more common is because of the expectation of the spouse to meet the partner's emotional needs. When those emotional needs are not met this can leave the husband or wife feeling unhappy and frustrated. According to Henslin, this is called, “an overloaded institution” (2014, p. 358). “Because these expectations place a heavy burden on marriage, often more than it can manage, sociologists refer to today’s marriage and family as an overloaded institution” (Henslin, 2014, p. 358).…

    Failure Is Impossible

    A little less than fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, but the assumption of that they have failed in marriage should not be made. When two people make the important decision of getting married, they are bound to be together for as long as they love each other. When a couple gets a divorce, they have declared their love to be not existent anymore. Thus, their marriage was a success because they have stayed with one another for as long as love has lead them. They have gained the capability to support, cherish, and depend on one, other than himself or herself. To live with a single person through a period of time, one faces great challenges and change in his or her life. A person must learn how to provide a safe shelter for one another and ways of entertainment on spare time. Any person that can establish that successfully and be happy for any period of time has succeeded. “Failure is only the opportunity to…

    Yet many girls, and a smaller number of boys, enter marriage without any chance of exercising their right to choose. Some are forced into marriage at a very early age. Others are simply too young to make an informed decision about their marriage partner or about the implications of marriage itself. They may have given what passes for ‘consent’ in the eyes of custom or the law, but in reality, consent to their binding union has been made by others on their behalf.…
