			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I list why marriages fail for men, let me define what I mean by a man&#8217;s</p>
<p>marriage failing.</p>
<p>What I mean here when I say that a marriage fails is that your wife has lost</p>
<p>interest in you. Or at least, she&#8217;s not as interested in you as you&#8217;d like.If it</p>
<p>gets bad, she eventually expresses her disinterest in you by either: a) wanting to</p>
<p>leave you, or b) cheating on you.And it may happen in degrees, but to whatever</p>
<p>extent she&#8217;s disinterested, the marriage is failing.</p>
<p>So if you want to keep her interest, don&#8217;t let these 3 <a href="http://advisecouples.com/861/tips-for-saving-your-marriage/" target="_blank">reasons why marriages fail</a></p>
<p>happen to you: Why Marriages Fail For Men Reason #1: Ego</p>
<p>Get this one handled first. This is often the first reason why marriages fail.</p>
<p>Honestly, step on your ego a little and half your problems will be solved.</p>
<p>If you get this handled, you may not even need to know the other two reasons why</p>
<p>marriages fail for men.It&#8217;s your ego that&#8217;s busy holding grudges, that can&#8217;t</p>
<p>forgive.It&#8217;s your ego that makes you lose your temper and do stupid things.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s your ego that stops you from learning how to be a bigger man and a better</p>
<p>husband.It&#8217;s your ego that prevents you from repairing your relationship when you&#8217;ve</p>
<p>screwed up unless you&#8217;re like me and you never screw up. Okay, okay, I admit it,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve screwed up more times than I care to remember.And you have to. It happens, man.</p>
<p>Get over it. Just fix it.</p>
<p>Why Marriages Fail For Men Reason #2: Blame</p>
<p>The second reason why marriages fail for men is that they convince themselves that</p>
<p>women are the reason why marriages fail.</p>
<p>Man, I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve heard a husband complain about his wife,</p>
<p>and I think to myself, &#8220;Dude, she&#8217;s not the problem. You are.&#8221;Of course, I often</p>
<p>tell him that, too. (It&#8217;s the tough love I have to give sometimes.)</p>
<p>Listen, bro: Your wife is not the reason why your marriage is failing. Stop blaming</p>
<p>your wife for any marriage problems you face. Stop blaming her for how she treats</p>
<p>you.</p>
<p>Have you ever heard the saying, &#8220;We teach people how to treat us?&#8221; If you haven&#8217;t,</p>
<p>then you need to write it down right now: &#8220;We teach people how to treat us.&#8221;</p>
<p>So ask yourself, &#8220;How am I teaching my wife to treat me?&#8221;</p>
<p>My wife treats me with honor, love, and respect. She likes to think it&#8217;s because of</p>
<p>what a wonderful woman she is. And she is a wonderful woman. But it&#8217;s because I</p>
<p>won&#8217;t accept anything less from her.</p>
<p>Why Marriages Fail For Men Reason #3: Logic</p>
<p>What?! How can logic be a reason why marriages fail?! Well, read on, and you&#8217;ll</p>
<p>see.How your wife behaves depends on how she feels. And how she feels will never</p>
<p>change with logic. So don&#8217;t try to convince your wife with logic that she should</p>
<p>behave differently.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not about logic. It&#8217;s about emotion. So get used to thinking in terms of</p>
<p>emotion, and not in terms of logic. Many men fail to recognize their wife&#8217;s</p>
<p>emotions, and that&#8217;s a big reason why marriages fail for them.</p>
<p>On a practical level, what does that mean? For one, it means stop arguing with her</p>
<p>and trying to convince her to see things your way. If you inspire her emotions,</p>
<p>she&#8217;ll give everything to please you, even if she thinks you&#8217;re wrong. Cuz it</p>
<p>doesn&#8217;t matter whether, logically, you&#8217;re right or wrong. What matters is how you</p>
<p>make her feel.</p>
<p>Setting aside logic also means that you need to stop judging her feelings. Her</p>
<p>feelings are her feelings. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you think they &#8220;make sense&#8221; or not.</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s not about logic; it&#8217;s about feelings. It&#8217;s all about emotions.Stop</p>
<p>trying to find &#8220;reason&#8221; with your wife. Instead, just understand her &#8220;emotion&#8221;.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s not a guy. She&#8217;s a girl. Appreciate that. Stop trying to make her like a guy</p>
<p>and &#8220;straighten&#8221; her. Just let her be a girl and enjoy the curvature.</p>
