In a relationship where two people come together to share every aspect of self with a promise to stay committed life long, cheating or adultery kills the very life out of it. Having an affair outside marriage or philandering nature of a partner can leave the other emotionally and psychologically agonized. Even if the other tries to work things out, constant lack of commitment of the partner would eventually lead to divorce.
2. Too much arguing

On a positive note, arguments are a part of every human relationship. The process of understanding each other sometimes lead to minor frictions but those frictions never wear out the strength of the union. But if arguments continue to happen and the two are not able to find common grounds over things that differentiate them then it may prove unhealthy for the relationship.
Marriage is not about ensuring same opinion or outlook on everything; it is more about agreeing to disagree where opinions differ.
3. Unrealistic expectations

Setting up unrealistic expectations is a disaster to any relation whether formal or personal. Marriage is one such relation where expectations usually run high. It is true that committing one’s life to someone is a huge step but it holds true for both partners. It is for both of them to grow together in the relationship and make life good for each other.
4. Abuse

This one is as clear as it can be. Nobody will ever stay in a marriage which has the ugly element of
domestic violence. However getting a divorce could be a tough process for
victim of abuse. In such case it is crucial to make sure that one is safe of any possible danger that may arise on initiating the procedure.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ‘nearly half of teenage marriages fail within the first fifteen years. That number drops to 35 percent for couples who marry in their mid-twenties.’ Marriage should be between two mature people who understand where both of them are coming from. The teen years and 20s are one’s years of learning and experimenting with life, and two young people who started on the same road may become different person over time.
6. Lack of equality

Over time, these frictions increase to such extent that divorce seems the most practical way to sort it out.
9. Communication gap
