Understanding why these marriages fail can be key to ensuring that your own marriage does not fail.  Some factors that contribute to the failure of a marriage include a lack of communication or poor communication, financial issues and even the circumstances of the marriage.  All of these issues can exist in a healthy and enduring marriage but if they are not dealt with properly they can lead to the failure of the marriage.    

  Communication is critical to the success of a marriage.  Without proper communication, conflict resolution becomes a difficult issue.  If the couple lacks the communication skills necessary to resolve their problems, then even the smallest problems will become insurmountable.  Communication allows a relationship to grow and thrive by giving the partners an opportunity to share their dreams, concerns, hopes and desires with each other.  Without sharing in this way a couple will not grow as close together as possible.  Communication also gives the couple a healthy way to resolve their arguments.  If one or both partners lack effective communications skills it becomes difficult to resolve arguments because the couple is not able to understand each other’s points of view.  If the marriage is already in trouble, both partners in the marriage must be dedicated to working on their communication skills in order to improve or salvage their marriage.  The absence of effective communication techniques can lead to the failure of a marriage.  

  Love may conquer all but sometimes even love isn’t enough to save a marriage when there are significant financial concerns.  While financial concerns in and of themselves may not be the cause of a failed marriage the tension that financial concerns create is often the culprit in a failed marriage.  Financial concerns can be a heavy burden to bear and when a couple is struggling to meet their financial obligations, there can be a tremendous amount of pressure in the relationship.  This pressure may be enough to destroy an otherwise healthy marriage.  If one of the partners in the marriage becomes obsessed with the marital finances they can begin to neglect other aspects of the marriage.  This neglectful behavior has the affect of making the spouse feel ignored and lonely which can be damaging to a marriage.  Often one of the partners will become consumed with the financial affairs and this can be very damaging to a marriage.    

  Even the circumstances surrounding the marriage can lead to its failure.  A marriage of convenience is often not a healthy marriage.  When the decision to marry is based on something other than true love, it is likely that the marriage will fair.  Some examples of marriage circumstances that often lead to failure are getting married because there is a baby on the way or because the couple is feeling pressure to get married by friends and family members.  Neither of these reasons are truly valid reasons for marriage and often leads to divorce.  When a couple marries for reasons other than true love the marriage is often doomed before it starts.  Marrying too young is another reason why many marriages fail.  While the right age to marry varies greatly depending on the person, many people argue that the teens and early twenties are too early to get married.  Getting married before you have had a chance to enjoy many of life’s experiences can result in resentfulness in the marriage and can be the cause of failure of the marriage.    

  Another reason why many marriages fail is that society no longer places importance on the institution of marriage.  Today it is common for couples to live together and have children without being married.  This degeneration of society devalues marriage and results in a higher percentage of failed marriages.  With so little value placed on marriage in today’s society, couples are not committed to making their marriage work and are often quick to give up on the marriage and each other.    

  Many marriages today are doomed before they even start.  Marriage is no longer seen as a necessary step in a relationship so many couples are quick to divorce without making an honest effort to resolve their problems.  Communication breakdown, financial difficulties as well as circumstances of the marriage are all problems that can cause many marriages to fail.

A man’s reason for cheating can encompass a wide variety of reasons including genetics, a sense of challenge, self esteem and a lack of interest in their current relationship.  While none are justifiable all of these can be reasons why a man chooses to stray and cheat on his current partner.    

  Although genetics may factor into why men cheat on their partner it may also just be a week defense for a man who is caught in his unfaithful actions.  A theory exists that testosterone levels in men make them more susceptible to infidelity.  This theory is based on the hypothesis that men are genetically predisposed to cheating because they are ingrained with the notion that the survival of the species is dependent on their procreation.  While this may be true it is certainly not an excuse for unfaithfulness in our age of overpopulation.  It may be true that in prehistoric times, men were tasked with populating the earth this is certainly not true today and is not a defensible excuse for cheating on your partner.  The truth is that in a truly loving relationship a man should be able to control himself and remain faithful despite any hormonal urges to produce offspring.  The theory of man being predisposed to cheating does not hold water because while it may be true, there is no excuse for not being able to quell these urges.    

  Another reason men cheat is because they feel a sense of challenge in their infidelity.  Actually being able to get away with an affair is a challenge that men enjoy.  Additionally they enjoy the challenge of finding other women with which to cheat.  To them the affair is more about the conquest then anything else.  Sure they may enjoy the physicality of the affair, but the pursuit and sneaking around is what really drives men who cheat on their partners.  They see fooling their partner as a tremendous accomplishment and they enjoy the logistics of orchestrating the affair without their partner learning of their transgressions.  To them the thrill of sneaking around and the fear of being caught creates and adrenaline rush that is more important than the affair or even their current relationship.  Men also cheat because they are driven by competition.  If there friends are single or cheating on their partners and often have affairs with several women the man may feel that he needs to keep up with his friends.  To these men affairs become a way of competing with their friends.  Infidelity in men is often driven by a sense of competition.    

  Many men also engage in affairs because doing so is an ego boost for them.  The knowledge that they can find multiple women willing to engage in an intimate relationship with them is a tremendous self esteem builder for some men.  They take pride in the ability to attract women and don’t care about the fact that doing so may destroy their relationship.  To these men the excitement of the chase is almost more important than the conquest.  Sometimes just knowing that other women find them desirable, is enough to stroke the ego of these men.  In general it is a lack of self esteem on their part that drives them to seek out affairs in order to reiterate their attractiveness and desirability.    

  A man who is in an undesirable relationship may also be driven to cheat on their partner.  If the relationship has begun to wane and the man no longer feels the same attraction to his partner he may seek out an affair out of boredom.  If he feels his current relationship is lacking excitement he may also be driven to cheat in the hopes that he will find the excitement he desires elsewhere.  While the wise thing may be to end the deteriorating relationship in search of a new more desirable partner, many men opt to hold onto the current relationship and engage in affairs.  This may be because they fear that they may not find what they are looking for and may be left lonely and without a partner so they hold onto the failing relationship figuring that a bad relationship is better than none at all.    

  Men cheat for a variety of reasons.  While none of these reasons may be justified, they do exist.  The reasons that men cheat include genetics, competition, self esteem and boredom.  In general while genetics may play a small part in the urge for men to cheat the majority of cheating takes place because men cannot control their sexual and competitive urges, are lacking in self esteem or are unhappy in their current relationship.  

  Whatever the reason of your man cheating on you, Don't be stuck with your cheating, lying spouse!

The differences in men and women cheating is that men often cheat for physical reasons while women often have emotional reasons for cheating on their partner.  The reasons why women cheat include loneliness, revenge, boredom and self esteem.  These factors may be inexcusable but they do exist in the minds of a cheating woman.  More and more women are becoming guilty of cheating on their partners and it is often emotional reasons rather than lust that drive them to these affairs.    

  Loneliness is one of the primary reasons that women seek out affairs and cheat on their partner.  Although it sounds contradictory that they should feel lonely because the women are currently in a relationship, it is often a relationship that is not emotionally fulfilling.  Women involved in these unsatisfactory relationships may feel as lonely if not more so than women who are not in a relationship.  If a woman is not receiving the attention she feels she deserves in a relationship, she may be tempted to seek that attention elsewhere and become involved in an affair.  A partner who becomes overly involved with his work or a hobby may not make time to spend with his partner and this often results in the women feeling as if they are all alone.  This feeling of loneliness can drive a woman to cheat on her partner.  One of the most prevalent reasons why women cheat is that they feel as though their current partner is not lavishing much attention on them and they feel lonely even in his presence.    

  Revenge has also become and increasing factor in why women cheat.  The modern woman is no longer willing to sit back and accept the fact that their partner may cheat on them.  If a woman confirms or even just holds a suspicion that their partner is cheating on them, they may be driven to engage in an affair of their own as an act of revenge.  The theory of, “An eye for an eye,” has unfortunately trickled down into the realm of romantic relationships and many women see a cheating partner as a justification to have an affair of their own.  They believe that they are justified in having an affair if they catch their partner cheating on them.  Furthermore they may be extremely hurt by their partner’s actions and seek a way to hurt them in the same way.  While it is not a justifiable reason, many women see revenge as an appropriate reason for cheating on their spouse.    

  Boredom may also factor into why women cheat.  Their current relationship may have fallen into a rut and lost the excitement that it possessed in the early stages of its existence.  They may feel that their relationship has become dull and predictable and rather than trying to bring excitement into their current relationship they may pursue affairs in the hopes of achieving the excitement they felt when they first became involved with their partner.  While an affair may bring about a temporary solution of making the woman feel excited about love again it may ultimately destroy both their current relationship as well as their cheating relationship.  An affair is exciting not only because it involves a relationship with a new person but also because it involves sneaking around and ultimately getting away with doing something wrong.  To many women this is very exciting and they are willing to risk losing their relationship over their affair.  Many women cheat because they are bored with the monotony of their current relationship and they seek to bring excitement back into their life through engaging in an affair.    

  Another reason why women cheat is a lack of self esteem.  Women may feel that they are not getting an adequate amount of admiration from their partner and they may be tempted to cheat to affirm that they are still attractive and desirable.  When a relationship meets a stagnant point where the partners are no longer making a conscious effort to reassure each other that they are still desirable, many women begin to feel insecure.  This insecurity leads women to seek affirmation of their desirability outside of the relationship in the form of an affair.  Being found desirable by another compensates for the lack of longing they feel from their partner and helps to boost their self esteem.  While women with a healthy self esteem are more apt to remain happy in a relationship, those that lack self esteem are often driven to cheat on their partners.    

  Men are not the only ones who cheat on their partners.  It is becoming more and more common for women to be guilty of cheating.  While women are beginning to cheat as often as men the reasons why women cheat are much different than the reasons why men cheat.  The reasons for women cheating are tied tightly to emotional reasons such as loneliness, revenge and boredom.
