8 people share what ruined their marriage

What destroys a marriage?

A marriage is generally considered to be a union that lasts a lifetime. However, marriages these days fall apart almost daily. One might argue that relationships have become flaky and people are typically more selfish than they used to be. While the sense of community might have dwindled over the ages, people’s self worth has finally taken a step forward. It is no more about compromises by just one partner (read: mostly the home maker) while the other partner remains in the union. No, it is now more about understanding each other and performing equally so that both can be satiated to maintain the relationship. Duties are manifold and merely earning money and putting food to the table does not cater to the demands of an institution called marriage. Let us find out what these 8 people have to say about it.
