It really depends on the two people involved. My husband and I are two stubborn and determined people so, so far so good. Your post reminds me of a Tina Turner song, I am sure you would love it. Two People - Tina Turner Two people, living on the edge of life Are people, running out of dreams and time I can hear it, when you tell me so And I can feel it, but I can't let go [Chorus] Two people gotta stick together (two people gotta stick together) And love one another, save it for a rainy day Some people gotta stay whatever (some people gotta stay whatever) And give one another, shelter on a rainy day (rainy day) Two people, living in the way we do Are people, trying to keep a love anew What to say, to make some sense of it What to do, to make the feeling fit [Chorus] Two people gotta stick together (two people - stick together) Love one another, save it for a rainy day (one another - save it - rainy day) Some people gotta stay whatever (some people - stay whatever) And give one another, shelter on a rainy day (one another - shelter - rainy day) I'll come running, to your rescue You gotta stand by me There's a lot of love between us And we should never let go - whoa [Chorus] Two people gotta stick together (two people - stick together) Love one another, save it for a rainy day (one another - save it - rainy day) Some people gotta stay whatever (some people - stay whatever) Give one another, shelter on a rainy day (one another - shelter - rainy day) (Two people - stick together) Love one another, save it - for a rainy day (one another - save it for rainy day) (Some people - stay whatever) One another - shelter - on a rainy day (one another - shelter on rainy day) (Two people - stick together) (One another - save it for rainy day) love - on a rainy day (Some people - stay whatever) whatever One another - shelter on a rainy day (one another - shelter on rainy day) (Two people - stick together) stick together One another - save it for rainy day (one another - save it for rainy day) (Some people - stay whatever) One another

Promises are always said to be broken. It is the word of a person that has to be kept. Most words in such relationship are not said, they are just understood and felt.

people seem to be able to say stuff they think they want at the time. i've found through my own experiences that people don't stand by there committments because they are selfish! now don't get me wrong, there are some amazing couples out there that do love and stand by each other! they are probably now a dying breed! i wish they weren't, and i wish i had one of those relationships!

I believe that when made lovers really intend to keep the promises they make to each other, unfortunately as time goes on and people change both what they want and expect from there partner changes and promises get lost somewhere in the shuffle.

yes on both counts, B E L I E V E

"Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days" I like that song. I think that those things are possible. However, people aren't perfect and love is hard. You will be lucky to find those things and do you best to be that kind of person, too.

People grow intellectually and emotionally, and often at differing rates. To promise a lasting relationship is like playing Russian roulette, especially since so many people these days are getting married and having children so young. It is entirely possible for one, or both of the people in a relationship to outgrow each other for any assortment of reasons. If people stay together for the reason of promise alone then all too often, one of them leads a less than happy life. Unhappy people inevitably project their unhappiness onto others in the family and in the end everyone suffers. It is always better to move on and grow and heal than to let a wound fester for years.

i'm cynical at the moment. i think that some people really say a vow, a promise, and are faithful to their commitments. then, other people just use those vows to manipulate, to cheat, to get whatever they want and they'll stand by their partner for as long as standing by their partner will yield favorable results for their selfish desires.

Yes a promise should never be broken, and you can fall in love for ever.

Yes, all the time it happens. It's the way we were designed, to let love hold us for eternity with another.

if it is only something that is said then it is no promise

Well I did not. I married my wife when she had a smoking body. Then she got pregnant and got all fat so I dumped her fatasss. You should see my new wife though. Boy is she hot!!1

all depends on the individuals... some are capable of life long commitment, others are not.... so long as people know who they are and are honest with their partners it's all good.... the problem is when people don't know who they are like my ex wife.

"Fall in love." Sigh. I knew my wife-to-be for over a year before we began getting romantic with each other. She was first my friend, then my best friend, then we decided to get romantic. Best decision I ever made. We knew each other very well, knew we had a lot in common, but also enough differences to keep life interesting. We love each other today, after over 2 years of marriage, more than we did when we first got married. I would do anything for her, and anything I say to her is my bound word to a greatly adored friend, partner, and wife.
