I think it's intended to, but rarely does last that long.

I'd like to think so but these days its different, due to a loss of a spouse, or falling out of love......i know a few people that are on their 3rd marriage so i think times are changing dramatically.

I literaly and honestly took it as such and was as serious as hell about it, but it took a lot to happen to me to realize that the rest of the world never took that part of marriage vows seriously. Tell death do us part only happens in the perfect world.

Well, that's the promise you make when you do it.

OK..I admit it. I'm a hopeless romantic.

Yes it is meant to. Unfortunately many of us are too wrapped up in our own little worlds to put forth the effort needed to make the marriage work. We put so much effore into building the relationship and getting to the point of being so inlove with that person it's not funny. Then we decide we can't live our lives one more day without this person being a part of it. We get married then once the realities of marriage set in and the honeymoon is over we figure hey I got the guy/girl already don't need to work so hard anymore now. Then we stop with the little things we used to do before to show our partner how special they were. People tend to forget that marriage is a constant work in progress. We're amazed when we hear of people being married for 50 60 and even 70 years. We all wonder what have they done that others are doing wrong. Those with long lasting marriages have figured out that the key to a successful marriage is to constantly work and making the relationship better.If booth partners are willing to put 100% of their time and effort into the relationship instead of being selfish Igurantee you there will be alot less people cheating and getting divorced.

Well, that was the name of the show that Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra starred in and we see how that turned out. If you don't make it "lip service" and truly work on the relationship and view it as sacred, yes it can be the way God intended it to be. The only acceptable out of marriage is infidelity, even with that, there is still the option for forgiveness.

Yes.

I'm sure that's the honest intention of almost everyone who gets married, however, people change and situations change, and that isn't always the case.
