I was not married but lived with someone for 2 years and we were together 3. In the end we broke up because:
Causes -
- two very different people, with different thought processes and goals, though equally smart
- we both had a lazy streak
- we sparked a lot and argued
- we didn't say what we wanted right from the start and were improvising
- we had a sexual problem halfway through the relationship that never quite faded
- I'm very emotional and communicative and he was less open that way
Symptoms:
- he would tell me I was fat and do nasty things to get me to break up with him
- less and less sex
- I became more and more submissive and less myself
The End. / sorry for the hijack, I know it says marriages.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
