i'm working on a short paper at the moment and curious why they fail in your opinion. (female perspective or male) What went wrong? what could have prevented it? What's a happy marriage? etc.

brought it to the open forum to get real creative ideas. have at it!

marriages fail because women marry assholes who wake them at at 6 in the morning on their 4 year wedding anniversary going fuckin crazy because the man left a pair of sweats on the couch and the womans cat slept on them and left 4 strands of cat hair on them.

I think a lot of people fail at marriage is that they loose there self idenity and feel trapped. I think most fights and breakups come from that.

I think succescul marriages have trust and freedom. Plus equal workload.

They fail for many different reasons...

Some people get married for the wrong reasons... like for having a baby.
Some people let their addictions take them over and that is the only important thing in their life. (DING-DING-DING... this is why my 'rents divorced)
Some people cheat.
Some people lack communication.
Some people are lazy and don't wanna help out financially.
Some people beat the living fuck outta the one they supposedly love.
Marriage is a lot of work... some people don't like to work or have better things to do.

I mean, I could go on and on really...

When I see a couple 80 some years old who have been together for 50 plus years, I find that so sweet, but really... I think we'll be seeing less and less of that as time goes on. I have maybe two friends that have parents that are still happily married... the rest are like my parents... happily divorced.

My parents have been semi-happily married for 35 years.

Their marriage has lasted because they spend as little time with each other as possible.

marriages fail because after a certain point of spending time with anyone you are gunna hate them at one time or another

think about your siblings or parents
even tho most people still love there famiy we can all remember times when we truly hated them

there are more divorces now a days because it is more socially accpted than it was say 50 years ago

especially since women have become more active in working than just taking care of the house and kids, they are less relient on the man in the relationship so it is easier for them to walk out of it

Im sure you can find some interesting things if you read some books from Christopher Lasch


take also religion and cultural-traditionnal habits into account.

but it depends of what kind of societies you re talking about, which countries.
