What is "Love"?

What exactly are "less than, dysfunctional marriages"? I think adding the comma made your statement less clear than it was. What do you mean?

"One of the major causes of less than/dysfunctional marriages is the joint failure to identify and share core values."

"Less than" what?

Final Comment: 'quantitatively and/or qualitatively less than the marriage may have had the potential to become.'

But you wrote: "One of the major causes of less than dysfunctional marriages is the joint failure to identify and share core values." Adding the comma made it more nonsensical. Replacing the comma with a slash made it even more nonsensical. If you wrote it incorrectly why not just say so?
