Before battles in the Crusades, men typically engaged in several preparatory steps. They began by donning armor and equipping themselves with weapons, such as swords and shields. Additionally, they participated in religious ceremonies to seek divine favor, often involving prayers or mass. Finally, leaders would organize troops, strategize their plans of attack, and ensure supplies and provisions were prepared for the conflict ahead.

Every war or series of wars have their consequences. Mostly the main consequence of the Crusades was that many men died, either by disease, hunger and/or thirst, or died in battle. Very few survived these Crusades.
Fame, glory, doing God's will.
The crusades took so long because there were eight spread out over time. On average, they each took only about three years. They took much time to prepare for and were called on by different popes.
