In today's world, it often seems that being married is only a temporary condition. All too often people walk away from marriage without ever really knowing why their marriage failed in the first place. Often these people go on to get involved with another only to have the same scenario play out all over again. In order to break this cycle it is important to know why marriages fail.
The selfishness of one or both of the spouses is often a factor in the ending of a marriage. For any marriage to be successful, both people must be getting their needs met, whatever they may be. In order for this to happen, both must be willing to make compromises on things that they may want but do not need.

Selfish people often confuse their needs and wants. In their mind, if they want something than it is a need. This makes them unwilling to make compromises about even small things. This usually results in the other partner not getting their actual needs met. A spouse that is not getting their needs met will become angry and resentful and may start looking elsewhere to get their emotional needs met.
Whether this search leads to infidelity or not, it is often one of the reasons that marriages fail. When either partner begins to feel that there is someone else that values them more than their spouse, the marriage is likely to be over very soon.
Hiding your true feelings is another tragic mistake that many couples make. Often, one or both spouses will keep their true feelings hidden in order to protect their partner from them. Although the intentions here may be good, this can have disastrous results for your marriage. Any feeling that is bottled up tends to grow until it makes it impossible to feel anything else.
When this happens, every time you look at your spouse, instead of feeling warmth and love you will be feeling resentment and anger. Obviously, this is not a situation you want if you want to save your marriage. Talk to your spouse, tell them what you are really feeling, the good and the bad. Even if doing this causes them some pain, it will pale in comparison to the amount of pain they are likely to feel if your marriage falls apart.
As strange as it may seem to someone who has never been married, loneliness is another emotion that can commonly cause trouble in a marriage. When two people see each other every day, there is a tendency to take them for granted. When this happens, one or both will stop taking the time to actually connect with the other in an emotional way. This leads to loneliness and may also lead to infidelity.
Learning why marriages fail may help you to keep yours together. These are just a few examples, but if you look into most failed relationships, you are likely to find that the issues that ended the marriage can be traced back to one of these three problems.
