Why Marriages Do Not Last Pt1

Many individuals hope to married one day. It is a wonderful communion finding the soul mate you always have destined to be with. It is different from his or hers perspectives. For example women are taught as young ladies a husband and marriage with children serves as the greatest reward. Men somewhat different but no negative. Men are taught to be providers, or a cornerstone for their wife and kids. This is something instilled in a mans mind and believe it or not faces much pressure closer to that time of matrimony. Therefore, the questions poses how come marriages do not last? Why are marriages compared to those of our ancestors only lasting for no more than a year or two. I was always told once a married couple gets past the four or five-year mark they are considered veterans. What do you think? There has to be an answer for why marriages are not successful. Here are some reasons that some think marriages collapse

·      Infidelity

·      Children

·      Intermediate Family

·      Trust Issues

·      Sex

·      Finances

·      Just to name a few

            These factors listed above are very dominant in the making of some nasty divorces. Allow me to take this from a different angle. There is one rationale not mentioned in the list above. Guess which one? The answer is religion. Yes I said it religion. I may be crucified for this no pun intended, or looked very negatively upon. You are asking yourself how is this possible when most marriages are founded or started upon religion. Allow me to elaborate.

A single man or women is going to church for one thing, depending on the religion he or she is a part of it is to gain more of personal relationship with their God. For example Christians go to church to get a closer relationship with Jesus and to accept him as their personal savior. Muslims believe in Allah and that he will bring governmental peace were all could live together in peace. Both doctrines have similar doctrine but that is another discussion.
