Marriage is tough for many reasons, including:
- Different Backgrounds & Expectations – Partners come from different families, cultures, and personal experiences, which shape their expectations of marriage.
- Communication Issues – Misunderstandings, unspoken needs, and poor conflict resolution can create distance.
- Emotional & Physical Intimacy Changes – Over time, attraction, sex drive, and emotional connection can shift, requiring intentional effort.
- External Stressors – Financial struggles, work pressure, parenting, and in-laws can add tension.
- Personal Growth & Change – People evolve, and if couples don’t grow together, they may drift apart.
- Unrealistic Expectations – Many enter marriage expecting lifelong romance without realizing it requires continuous effort.
- Power Struggles – Differences in decision-making, independence, and leadership roles can create friction.
