I suggest that this is for at least two reasons.  Firstly, men and women
were created to firstly have a relationship with God.  Because we choose
to leave God out of marriage these days (as well as on the periphery of
our lives), we do not enjoy the help and blessing of God.

Secondly, because we have not personally received Christ and surrendered
to Him, we instead surrender to our own inherent selfishness.  When times
get hard, it is easy to blame your partner, who is just as imperfect as
you.  The only way to conquer this is to know Him.  Period.  

No Jesus, No Peace.
Know Jesus, Know Peace.

Of course people call me a fundamentalist!  But if you knew Jesus, you'd
be bananas for Him too!
