1. Hey only like 60-75% of Military Marriages fail.
That leaves a good solid 1in3 or 1in4 that make it through 3 tours in Iraq/Afghanistan...

3. The Republican Party
They keep outsourcing jobs, slashing important programs for the common people, etc., etc., etc.,......which lead to financial woes, thus causing hardship on married folks often resulting in divorce.

9. Having a choice lose a job or face major medical problems.....
Money is the primary reason for the breakup of the vast majority of marriages. And this administration has been disastrous for the middle class economically, basically leading an attack on the very institution they pretend to defend.

10. Unrealistic expectations
and thinking another person holds the key to your happiness.
(married 28 years this September. Or as my husband says, "twenty-five happy years!")
