Marriage is probably one of the toughest commitments that you have to make in your life.
Vowing to live and love a person, no matter what, is not an easy task! In the course of a marriage, you may experience hundreds of arguments and misunderstandings and, on occasion, even have your trust broken.
Although there are many things that can possibly go wrong in a marriage, here are the most common problems that married couples encounter that have been known to lead to divorce.

• Broken trust.
  Trust is the most important thing that should be guarded in a marriage.
  It serves as the foundation for your relationship.
  Trust in a marriage can be broken a number of ways.
  For example, infidelity, divulged secrets or when a spouse decides to take financial matters into his/her own hands without consulting the other.
  
• Miscommunication - or no communication at all.
  When couples face problems or trials in their marriage, communication is the key to getting back on track.
  Communication is a two way street; there is the talking and then the listening.
  When spouses refuse to talk or listen to each other, problems become so much bigger reducing the chances of reconciliation.
  
• Selfishness.
  When couples stop looking out for the good of their spouses and start thinking about their own interests, then problems are bound to happen.
  Marriage was never made for the selfish.
  It was designed to be a give and take relationship.
  
• Close-mindedness.
  Couples who refuse to accept their partner's flaws and ideas will eventually see their relationship doomed.
    Marriage is a union of two hearts and two minds.
  So do not expect to have everything done your way.
  If you do, you can expect your marriage to struggle or possibly fail.
   

Some of these causes may sound very "small" or "trivial" to you but, when ignored, could boil over into something really big and irreconcilable.
So couples, try to stay away from these behaviors as much as possible if you intend to keep your marriage working.
