I think a lot of it has to do with a commitment to the marriage at the beginning. A lot of people, albeit not very smart people, will rush into marriage while not thinking about life in 1,5,10 years. I think many people make foolish decisions to get married when they are not ready and possibly with the wrong person. They are not ready to commit to someone for the rest of their lives. Of course there are other causes, cheating, complacency, financial, etc...but I think it all boils down to commitment. And not just to making your marriage work, but to making your spouse happy consistently. When you love someone you want to do what's best for them and make them happy, life easier, better, etc... I think people have fallen in love a little with the idea of getting married and don't really want to make a commitment to put their spouse 1st for the rest of their lives. So, I think that would be my answer. A major portion of the marriages that fail I believe come from people being selfish. If you care about someone enough to put them first for the rest of your life then I think you should consider marrying that person. However, other things need to be worked out like finances, religion (big one in my opinion), future plans, etc...
I have definitely had my share of rough times with my wife and we've both done things to each other we've regretted, but we've made it through them and I believe it's because in the end it's because we both want to see the other happy and we are commited to making our marriage great, not just good or managable, but great.
