Eg. Wife getting old, lack of sex drive, doesn't want to have sex that often because she's not that into you, etc.
Not only that, YOU could lose interest in her as she gets on with age. This is the biggest problem I reckon.
It's all about sex for us, whereas for normal folk it could be maybe only a 20% factor. Their marriages could still work without that 20%.
That's why I always say, do your best to choose the right girl to get hitched with and hope that you were lucky with the choice.
A few things can't go wrong, other things are more about luck. Her age must be at least 10 years your junior because this makes it aligned with the male and female biological clock. If you're 40, you marry a late-20s to 30 yo girl. By the time she gets to menopause at around 50, you'd be in your 60s. Your own sex drive would've slowed considerably, and you would've had 20 odd years of great sex at home with her. That's a great thing, no?
Looks, body shape, etc... of course always go for the girls who suit your taste to avoid yourself losing interest in her.
If you get all these things right, you'd still need a bit of luck for the other things that could go wrong.
