Knowing the reasons why love can fade away is understanding what is love and relationship mean, it will help us avoid break up and save our relationship.

It was only yesterday when love was so sweet and unending. But so quickly, vows and promises are forgotten. Gone are the days when you always hear him whisper, I love you. Now you are missing the warmth of his embrace. You are asking yourself; where did love go? So if love fades, it can take a heavy toll on the marriage.

Happily, many marriages do not come to that point, though a number experience strain. But let us briefly consider a few of the factors that can help us understand what is love and relationship and why in some cases love fades away.

1) Wrong Expectation

Before they really enter the actual scene of marriage, many thought that they would be the local version of a fairy tale love story. They expected that romances, tenderness, sweet love and caress will always be there. Yet after all, nothing is real but just a fantasy and so comes the disappointment. They didn't realize that love stories in movies, books and songs are just a portrayal of unrealistic relationship. When they start to court, they think and feel that their dreams come true. But after few years of marriage they will conclude that truly they are dreaming. Anything less than a storybook romance might make a workable marriage seem like an utter failure.

But there could also be proper expectations in marriage such as; love, attention and support of one's mate. Yet even these wishes may go unfulfilled. It is then wise to consider these facts that even in well-managed marriage, we can feel so neglected, frustrated and lonely.

2) Incompatibility

Usually it does not take long for a married couple to discover that they are not as much alike as they seemed to be during courtship. Now they have nothing in common. Not a single day passes that they bitterly regret their getting married. After all they are just badly mismatched. Finally they conclude, it's a big mistake.
They maybe some times similar in taste and personality but not with major differences in style, habits, attitudes, likes and dislikes. All these reasons can result to the difficulty in reconciling if disagreement arises.

3) Constant arguments and conflicts.

Fighting, yelling, voicing out complaints and heat of anger, are expressed in a destructive manner. When this happens, conversation is a battleground where viewpoints are defended with grim determination and words are weapons instead of tools of communication. These hurting words will start to make their love grow cold.

These are some factors that contribute to couples arguments;

* Money problem
*Parenthood
*Betrayal of trust and infidelity
*Sex

4) Feeling of hatred

Yes love can gradually be replace to its opposite which are hatred and selfishness. Though love may still be there, hatred sounds ever louder. Apathy, fear and pride had hardened their hearts that makes it even more impossible to reconnect their marriage once more.

5)Feeling of giving up

Sadly, though, some spouses become so accustomed to a loveless marriage that they give up all hope of any change. They feel their marriage will never work anymore. They thought even they will do the best they can but it's impossible to mend what is already broken. Now they think that separation and divorce is the last option to solve their never stop arguments.


Wrong expectation, incompatibility, conflicts, hatred and giving up are just some of the factors that may contribute to a loveless marriage and makes love fade away. But those problems in marriage can be solve or at least minimize if we are determined to do so. And if both parties will cooperate.
