Agreed! People give up they don't fight for thier marriage some how they think that the grass is greener some where else or with some one else. They refuse to fight for those they love no matter how hard or easy that battle might be. If they didn't fight for thier spouse they really didn't love them in the first place. They gave up even before they started. In the end they are lazy & just don't care & never did.

They do not possess the tools needed to sustain a relationship.

Because people think love is a fairy tale and it's anything but. Love is hard work and something you have to choose to work with everyday.

This. Contrary to the popular Eagles song, love will not keep you alive. Food does, or rather money. Financial stability, aligning interests, hard work, emotional maturity, and so on all trump romance.

I suppose it is work in a way - but I have to admit that I don't feel like my husband and I have to work that hard at our relationship. Oh - we have our ups and downs and I guess you could say that choosing to work through things instead of ignoring them is hard work and a choice - but it's just what we do. Some of my other relationships felt like work - but maybe my husband just makes the hard work feel easy. To be truthful - my relationship with my husband feels more like a fairytale than hard work. Maybe this is the "wrong" answer - but I guess I think that if you find that your relationship is super hard work all the time and you constantly have to make a choice to stay and work things through - maybe it's not the right relationship. With the right person - you WANT to stay and you WANT to work through things - so it doesn't really feel that hard. Just my opinion.

Grass is Always Greener syndrome.

People are always looking for something better and many see no problem with giving up something great in the present for something that may or may not work in the future.
