Communication...a lot of the other things on the list can be handled with communication/come from a lack of communication

I think that the exciting newness goes away and they don't get their needs met emotionally and physically.

Getting married?
Seriously, communication.

Closing Down Communitcation

Communication is key, but can't overide some of the source issues

It all comes down to communication. I have at times in our relationship felt like I didn't get enough attention from my husband, sexually and emotionally. He has always made an effort to improve when I just speak up.

Communication seems to be the big thing.

Communication.

Personnally, I think what brings couple down is a lack of communication that can lead to cheating, less romance, emotional needs not meet, etc.

people need to keep an open communication. also you need intimacy even if it's hard and you don't feel like it/ don't have time, make time force it and you'll feel it. I know we've had some dry spells due to kids and it would have been easy not to do it but we would decide to focus on each other and it would spark things up all over again. 10 years together talking here! and we still love each other and love having sex with each other.

I think many of these things are related and a hit in one area will also adversely affect the others, especially due to the differences in the way men and woman perceive things. I know that for me it's hard to feel really emotionally connected to someone and be open to honest communication without physical intimacy. How many hetero men go around sharing their feelings with each other? Conversely, I suspect many women aren't open to physical intimacy without the non-physical communication first. So in many instances it becomes a matter of who's going to step outside of their ideal comfort zone first to keep things working. My wife has nowhere near the interest in sex that I do and I can tell you that often makes communication very difficult for me. But we've stayed happily married for 11 years now - it can be done. It just takes more effort.

While I think that all of these tend to be contributing factors, the major problem I've noticed is people are getting married to the wrong partner, for the wrong reasons, and at the wrong time.

Losing the emotional connection is what tore our marriage apart.

Communication and bottling up feelings/emotions/thou ghts.

communication is key in every relationship so I think that really affects when they go bad

I would disagree with the lack of talking...I beleive its the lack of romance...Its just that, that leads to lack of communication. That little bit of romance every now and then is what keeps you talking. Having something such a comforting night out, movies, and sensual massage, etc. is what keeps them interested. My wife and I are a prime example. When we got weeks without that little spark, we end up being alittle less open to each other day by day. After we relized the problem. Our marriage has never been better.

Everyone always asks how my husband and i have lasted so long and i always say we fight. i dont mean crazy screaming fights but if hes pissing me off by leaving his socks on the floor i dont hold it in i let it out and tell him we bicker over it and its done, we dont hold in all the little tings that bug us so that in 6 months we have a mile long list that makes them seem horrible and im so angry about everything that its a massive fight.

when 1 spouse is away from home too much because of work.....one of them ends up cheatin'. usually the one workin' too much.

Closing down communication definitely. It takes work to talk about things openly, honestly and without placing blame or indicating whose at fault.

Not having clear communication and realistic expectations about marriage and your partner is the greatest underlying factor in the divorce rate. The rest of the stuff you list is the symptom not the real problem.

I put selfishness down becuase all the other options tie back to selfishness usually. You have to be willing to make sacrifices for the other person always. It's okay to be selfish every once in a while, but when you are always selfish it becomes a problem.

I think it's getting married before you are ready, both emotionally and financially.

My parents divorced, partly because my mother's parents were horrible and abusive towards my dad, and my mom did nothing to stop it or defend him, mom never really loved my dad, but used him as an escape from her overbearing parents, and because my mother drugged 2 out of 3 of us kids. In my parents case, it was because my mother never really wanted it to work.
