For me , It's loss of intimacy or communication that become a common problem among couples. Financial Matters is next....

Agree with all of the members responses but also have to add being taken for granted. There is something with relationships that after a while they no longer go the extra mile as they know the person will still be there tomorrow. Uggh, oh wait it is not about me is it.

What would you do if you're being taken for granted? I'd been taking for granted that kind of issue for the long time.

You are speaking to someone who complete despises being taken for granted. I have reached a point in my life where I can no longer allow this. Therefore, you have to take really deep look as to what is more important in the relationship and or is this the way you want to be living five years from now. Five years are coming whether you want them or not and is this same feeling today is the one you want five years from now. As being taken for granted will not change on its own.

Well, i think too that the common problem is financial - for married people... and for both married and non married couples - the main problem would be third party as well. I think more people break up because of third party than they do break up because of financial issues.

Aside from money issues, I think couples argue about irreconcilable differences, third party or lack of trust. Infidelity or unfaithfulness has a high factor why couples quarrel and argue much.

For me it is respect, respect of privacy, couple now a days tend to invade each others privacy. Even you are couples still you are individuals and we have to respect that. Many young couples are giving their password in their accounts that the partner tend to interfere with the other side of his/her partner. Dictating who should be included or not included in his or her friend list, or the friends that she/he would go out. This is a common issue that we mostly ignore because other may think it is petty we have to learn to respect our partner's privacy and individually. God Bless! ^_^

I totally agree. Communication is the common problem. Communication is a way of connectiong to the other. Even though couples wouldn't see each other everyday, it is okay as long as there is communication. Without it, everything will follow. There will be secrecy in the relationship which will lead to trust issues. Then issues will arise if couples are not open to discuss things.

lack of adjustment, flexibility are the main reasons for getting problems in relationships. You should do expect too much from the partner. You should be ready and willing to accept the partner with his/her flaws.

As for me..i would say it is not being open and no time for each other which is also part of loss of communication.

The another problem can be lack of trust and understanding among the couples. And yup financial can be the next.

in my experience i would say lack of communication that leads to misunderstanding, lack of trust that leads to fights, and the differences that aren't compromise that leads to indifferent. I think there's much more problems that i could include here but those three are mostly the root of all the problems that we had.
