Maybe people get married too quickly and realize they're not compatible

One thing that takes place is not asking for His guidance in who to wed, we are after all to take ALL things to Him for His guidance and blessing. So often we find someone who will stand still and get married and then ask God to bless something He had no part in.

My late wife and I were separated when she passed of cancer but we were still legally married. We loved each other but I think we got married too quickly and realized we weren't compatible

the reason most marriages won't work is because we have no Honor or Respect or Reason
virtually any man and any woman can be married and have a happy marriage.
There are a lot of reasons why many don't but the crux of it is we are haters of God and His Instruction.

You would have to be your mind reader to know what someone else hates unless he tells you

I don't have to read their mind, God tells us what we think.
go read psalm 53 or John 1 or Psalm 32. there are a tonne of other verses but those are pretty darn good ones to start.

Compatibility is simply baloney. Everyone can be compatible when it suits them and incompatible when it does not. A lame excuse.

Probably because marriage is work and people get lazy and selfish. The "honeymoon" period wears off and they forget love isn't always a feeling, but a choice.

you obviously don't know your bible.
go read psalm 53.
actually I do know 'my' Bible and even know THE bible

what you don't know, is who does and who does not follow scripture when it comes to marriage or anything else

you appear to be just another rude and crude individual who thinks everyone is like one lump sum of stupid because they don't agree with you

smh

I can gree with this

what I do not agree with, are people coming on here and thinking they are some kind of prophet

if you apply what the op said to society that could be true but we don't need more people telling us all what we believe and think and then telling you to go read your Bible
'
Jesus said we would be known by our love, but it seems plenty of people calling themself Christian, just want to punch you in the nose

nothing to do with you

A lot of couples are unequally yoked and some believers are not compatible. In the world its selfishness, boredom no patience and not willing to endure anything in the marriage. This is expected because they do not trust God. Christain marriages are falling for the same issues as the world. With God in the centre and glue in your marriage you should withstand any storm. Even if you fall out of love or you feel you are not compatible anymore GOD can help you to bring that fire back amd you can start growing together in your Goals and dreams together as a couple. It is so easy and acceptable to get divorce or separate these days.. being married is still the right thing to do..

Not really. Some people's personalities just clash
With my late wife, she would just talk over me until I give up and then complain that there's no communication

Everyone's situation is different and there's a variety of reasons why marriages don't work out.
