5 Biggest Reasons Why Couples Break Up, According to a Relationship Expert

Leena advices not rushing into a marriage without knowing each other completely. Even in an arranged marriage, you can minimise nasty post-marital surprises to know your partner's personality, reactions to difficult situations and inherent nature before saying 'I do.'

Couples who have not spent enough time before marriage are often prone to impulsive behaviour when faced with a difficult situation. The post-wedding phase is extremely crucial to set the foundation of a great relationship and set new comfort zones rather than reacting immediately to an unpleasant situation.

Nobody wants to feel the pain of heartbreak and that may take a toll on your marriage too. Leena says, "One of the partners may have the fear and insecurity of getting divorced if it doesn’t work out, sometimes even at the time of the wedding. Often this fear complicates simple issues and the marriage starts failing."

Marriage is a two-way street and you cannot walk on it without the help of your partner. So, it is best to support and love your partner's decision without compromising on your self-respect. In case of dispute, have a mature discussion to solve the issue rather than be adamant about your opinion.
