Why Young Marriages Fail



There are lots of marriages that fail but among these, the incidences of divorce among young and married individuals are very much apparent. Age may not be a major factor for successful relationships to be guaranteed but it cannot be denied that there are also elements that become the reasons why marriage among young individuals end up as failures.


Some of the most common reasons for the failure of young marriages are as follows:
• Romanticizing: The tendency to romanticize marriage among young individuals. Usually they have very high expectations from their spouses but when reality strikes that married is not a bed of roses and far from what "fairy tales" tell, disappointment occur causing individuals to find no better option but to stay out of the marriage bond.
• Young Age: Teen marriages contribute to high incidences of divorce. Maturity plays a crucial role for people to stand by the major decisions that they make. Young age and immaturity are common factors why major decisions are hurried only to end up failing to take on the challenges and survive the problems that usually come with marriage.
• Neglect: There are young individuals who may find it really easy to go against the roles that they are supposed to play. Abandonment happens when a person decides to stay away from the relationship especially if age and maturity cannot contribute enough to make one capable of fulfilling important obligations.
• Hidden Sexuality: There are cases when young individuals realize it later that they have to "come out" and reveal their hidden sexuality even if it will affect the marriage. Identity crisis is one of the things that young individuals experience and when not resolve, it may even become the reason why marriages are better off
