  • i think anybody should go into it with the full intention that it is for life; if it doesn't work and they can honestly say in their heart that they tried then i don't think it's wrong to get a divorce and stop hurting themselves
  • When people exchange vows at the altar, they are dedicating their life's to each other for the rest of their lifes. That's the way it is suppose to be. That, of course doesn't always happen. So, just move on...Happy Fourth of July!!!
  • Once I would have disagreed but my husband of over 20yrs divorced me and 6yrs on I still feel married.Friends tell me to find someone new but I feel that I'm cheating, of course there's also the fact that I'm still in love with him. For me my marriage was for life and even though we are no longer together I still feel that he was my soul partner and will be for life.
  • If each of you chose well and you are going in the same, not opposite direction, then yes. Otherwise, no! :)
  • i think marriage should be for the rest of your life, if you get married you need to be fully committed to making your relationship work. too many people see marriage as just another phase in their lives. and don't take their vows seriously enough, and i feel that needs to change. if you feel you can't make that kind of commitment to anyone then don't get married.
  • instead of the word marriage it would be LOVE...!!!
  • I think everyone goes in it with the hopes it will.
  • I agree. That is the mindset going in. Nobody goes is with the mindset of getting a divorce. However, people change over time or in some cases they don't change over time. Either way that can cause people's feelings for someone to change. Sometimes you are left wondering if you still love your spouse or do you love the person you wish he/she was. Many times the later is true. Also, nothing is more disappointing than when you see a world of potential for the person you marry and he/she never lives up to it.
  • MY marriage is for the rest of MY life. But, I don't agree that ALL marriages are meant to last. Sometimes, the relationship is such that the marriage needs to terminate for one or both partners emotional and mental health and well-being. That said, I also think our divorce rate is too high and people do not take marriage seriously enough at the outset.
  • agree, but sometmes it's not your choice. if both aint trying then it aint going to be for life.
  • I hope it is, because I do wanna spend my whole life with her.
  • I agree, unless abuse is involved.
  • A nice goal, but not necessarily achievable. There are too many unknown factors that may contribute to the dissolution of a marriage.
  • Agree, but I can tell you these past 20 years has been extremely, extremely challenging. It is the mightiness of God that keeps the glue in marriage relationships, and not of ourselves. Some may not want to ever experience this fact, but can tell you from a host of negative experiences and sticking it out, it is true!
