I only have control over certain things. In my last marriage, it was my brutishly critical attitude. In my current marriage, it is that I am not always "present". In my first marriage, I always had a reason to be critical and never listened to or accepted my wife's pain. In this one, I am trying harder to deal with my detachment, in which I seem to my wife to be in another world. She's right and we work on it together. It's getting easier and the rewards are great.

Finances, incompatibility, personality changes, family (on both sides), communication styles, the list goes on and on. Falling out of love/lust and sexual compatibility is NOT one of our problems, but the others are severe. Children will be a problem when/if we divorce.

Biggest obstacles in marriage

1. Finances
2. Keeping the spark alive
3. Kids (not that having kids is an issue, it is just dealing with all the things that comes with having children)
