Married women be tight with the pussy...Wife taking her husband money and leaving the fool broke all the damn time...Wife stop sucking her husband's dick...Wife always complains about the little shit and want give the man a break...
By ddaone4u on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 05:46 pm:
no communication, and a lack of maturity.
Sadly, so many of glorify false role models and movies stars and think our lives should be modeled after them. For instace, I heard a young woman say she want to live like Beyonce, but does she know if Beyonce is really happy. We so often let others shape and mold us to dicitate to us what happiness is.
and the bigest problem is other Jealous people who claim to be freinds often kill a relationship fast. No married person or a person in a committted relatisnhip should be out with freinds 12midnight , hanging out, this is a recipe for drama, remember misery like company

agrees with all the above answers. I'm studying Marriage/Family/Couple counseling in the fall and I'm looking forward to hearing some statistics and facts about the matter.

Too competitive in the home, too many chiefs not enough indians, no one taking time to learn their partner. Also what happens in the bedroom is between husband and wife, not your friends, family, society, the internet, co-workers, neighbors, frat brothas and sorority sistas. If people concentrated on their mate and their needs instead of what everybody has or is doing, marriage would be everything it cracked up to be and more.

All of the above plus,
When some women, not all say I do... They start feeling like they have the ONLY pussy on earth and want to start rationing it out to the man along with when she gives him head.
Some women just don't realize that what you did to get me, you have to keep on doing to keep me, so you start rationing the pussy don't get mad if I stop running home after work....
Be thankful I'd rather do something constructive like work on my career than to something destructive like find some outside pussy because you feel like now you got me so I CAN ONLY https://jamii.app/JFUserGuide WHEN YOU WANT TO NOW.
I guess that's why I'm on Wife number 3 and we just got back together after a lonnnngggg seperation. LOL
I told them all I DON'T PLAY THEM PUSSY GAMES AND I MEANT IT!
By 804_niagrafallsdrinka on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:01 pm:
One of the greatest things I've noticed is the man and the woman somehow forget to say thank you and appreciate one another
By the_mentalist on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:03 pm:
Communication is a deal breaker in any marriage/relationship.
My input: being selfish, letting others know everything about your marriage, not being able to express wants and needs, can't adapt to change, and money.
By i_am_legend on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:04 pm:
HOw many of the people who have answered are married? been married?
By biggurlsdoitbetta804 on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:04 pm:
#1. When you don't have God as the head of your house.
lack of communication
family and friends all up in your business
immaturity
when you have nothing at all in common (you should know this before you marry but some don't even care)
when your ex baby ma/baby dad are just plain unreasonable
one mate being selfish
finances
cheating
running the streets the clubs EVERY weekend with out your spouse
By succulent_1 on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:06 pm:
The criteria that many people use to decide who to marry are not the same characteristics that will nurture a long term relationship.
People choose based on sex, looks, money, jobs, any and all of which are/can be very transient things.
Commonalities in values, goals, interests, respect and a bonafide friendship will go further in nurturing a long-term relationship.
Also, as stated, your 'marriage' should already be in force BEFORE you walk down the aisle.
In other words, if he's still chasing skirts before you marry, you'd be STUPID to think that's going to change afterwards.

Im married and that's one of the things my wife and I keep a foundation on communication, taking the other partner's emotional feelings into consideration and most important we do not allow anyone on the inside(family) or the outside(friends) to get into our business been married now 7 years and loving every minute of it
By mrdevine1 on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:11 pm:
Whatever you did to get your partner and made them happy and wanted them to marry you, don't start slippin, slacking letting yourself go, when the ring is on your finger. Marriage is always changing and evolving but somethings must remain constant. Damn all that unnecessary material shit. Be realistic, get a home and reliable car not a mansion and a ferrari. Live within your means, not the rich and famous.

The first time somebody hauls off and smacks somebody, its downhill from there.
By 804_niagrafallsdrinka on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:18 pm:
Bottom line is marriage is a job it doesn't work on itself like someone else said earlier, the things you did in the beginning keep it up upgrade yo game
definition- easy come easy go
By ofmiceandmen on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:38 pm:
Few people are getting married nowadays
Lack of a role model, most people come from single parent homes or ones that are dsyfunctional so they dont have an example only fictional shit on TV
Poor values, the one who keeps hooking up with jailbirds
Not wanting to be in a committed relationship, in it for the long haul - making it work
Having someone you click with with good communication and accepting of each other
Immaturity, Trauma, situation in life, dont give a damn
By dwayne160 on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 07:03 pm:
Lack of communication. Unrealistic expectations. Lack of listening. Too much TV!
By gr8girl on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 07:17 pm:
I once heard a teacher say that the reason blk men don't stay with their families is because back in the time of slavery they were taken from their tribes and now have inherently lost the sense of family and community.
This teacher was White....
I think it is lack of role models and infidelity.
By ofmiceandmen on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 07:37 pm:
@gr8gril The teacher being white is/was a problem...
By calibibrotha on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 08:05 pm:
Interesting that only biggurlsdoitbetta804 mentioned "religion."
When I consider all the 50 years+ Black marriages that I know,
the overwhelming majority embrace the same component:
The couple attended church together, AND were active members.
By hopeulike63 on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 08:32 pm:
https://jamii.app/JFUserGuide Religion! Really that got nothing to do with doing what you need to do in a marriage.
By kitykat2 on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 08:51 pm:
*Apathy or general disregard
*No concept of, or experience with reciprocity: mutual exchange of feelings, goods, or efforts re: mate.
*Poor or unlearned communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills.
*Different and unexpressed expectations (unevenly yoked; unreasonable or non-negotiable gender-based).
*Lack of basic courtesies and consideration.
*Allowance of outside influences which tear the fabric of the primary marital unit: friends, parents, prev. rels., children).
*Lack of understood and agreed upon personal boundaries
*Emotional baggage from previous relationships including issues stemming from childhood.
*Substance abuse.
*Inability to understand or manage finances.
*Criminal lifestyles.
* Not taking the time to discuss and agree/or not on these issues PRIOR to getting married.
*Unwillingness to renegotiate changes as they occur or impact the relationship.
It's a misnomer and perpetuated myth that Black marital relationships are somehow different from those of other races. These very same deficiencies are found across the racial, economic, environmental, class, and geographical spectrum.
Black American life is just more emphasized, researched, and castigated.

O.K. Surprise, Surprise...I have been married for 40+ years...Count em'..I think all the above is true but what has kept ours together is a desire to stay together....recognizing early on and accepting that there would be a lot of shyt to work thru to make it work.
Most black married couples today don't have good role models. My wife and I both come from 2 parent committed parents...
You have to learn not to make yourself the center of your married relationsship...that avoids hurt feelings which leads to bitterness,etc..
If you don't both have serious personal goals then one cna pullon the other or so it is perceived and it voids a marraige sometimes...
As a pair you must share a committment to each other and really work hard as hell to make it work..You cannot change your spouse, you can only change yourself, is what I always say...Well I didn't always say it but I do now..lol
