    People are becoming disconnected with each other.

    Busy lives, lack of communication, not taking time to spend with each other, etc.

    Looks like you made a very wrong choice as far as choosing a soul mate. Now you have to face the consequences like a man, learn from the experience and move on. You are in a one way relationship. Marriage is supposed to be a partner in dreams, ideas, goals and most important, someone who listens, cares and acknowledges you outside the bed. Why then marry? You (and her) can have all the sex with whomever without being married to them. The only thing that seems she is interested in is either financial reason or sexual reason, or both. That is a very poor foundation to build a life together. You sound like a smart man, we all make mistakes, but we must learn from them and that is what is important. Find yourself a woman that loves you and cares for every issue in your life, whether you are reading a vampire story or trying to re-invent the wheel, there is where the proof of true love lies. Good luck

    Dishonesty,lack of communication. When there is a problem,most married couples try and avoid the issue instead of talking it out.Finances are also a bug factor.Only 1 person should do the finances in an open book effect. That way the other can be free and clear of all faults.There is absolutely no reasoning behind having to ask the significant other for money.That way, "both" know where the unexpect finances went and keeps the book clear.

    Most people live their lives on "auto-pilot". We've been conditioned and taught to act and believe a certain way, and so we are constantly and unaware that we are choosing to respond to a situation with an automatic response.

    We forget to choose love in every moment. Everything is a choice. Love is a choice. Fear is a choice.

    We also go into relationships with expectations. It's like a trade system. You do for me and I will do for you. That is the wrong reason to get into a relationship. We shouldn't enter a relationship with someone because of what we expect to get from them, but what we expect to give to that person. "Love is not about finding someone who completes you, it's about finding someone to share in your completeness."

    We put conditions on love. I will love you so long as....

    That's not to say that we should allow someone to abuse us or be destructive to us, but it is to say that we should accept the ones we love. Love is acceptance, tolerance, unconditional, patience, freedom...

    We forget this. We forget what it actually is to simply love.

    "Love gives all and requires nothing."

    High divorce rates stared in the 50's/60's when FREE LOVE came about. It's continued. People make themselves to available to others if the urge hits.

    marriage fail cause of money and cheating the most. Loss of affection and attractions

    It's easier to distract yourself from marriage issues than it is to force yourself to work through them.

    Because when people get married and live together, they see the other person's REAL personality and bad traits.
