Is it possible for a marriage to actually last?

Question

With all the negative out there today, I am just wondering what other people think.

Answer 1

Yes it sure is if you choose to work at it and make it everything you can make it be. You can choose to be happy or miserable in your marriage. Love is a choice and goes way beyond just a feeling! Sad part is most people want everything easy and not want to work at their marriage or relationship! It is called laziness. If you work at and love being married and enjoy it other and love them where they are at and not try always having to try to change the other person as the only one we have the power to change at all is ourselves Our marriages would be way more successful and happier and marriage actually could be a marriage like heaven on earth! Treat your spouse with love and how you would want them to treat you and you will never go wrong! http://www.marriagetoday.org is a great website to learn more about this as well. This is how my husband and i feel about our marriage and our life together and we have a great and happy marriage! Another thing that is essential to a marriage to make it last is forgiveness and unselfish love!

Answer 2

After being married for 10 years I can honestly say that marriages can last. People just have to stop being so self centered. A relationship takes two people working at it. The real problem is that it only takes one to ruin the relationship.

Answer 3

SURE, it's possible.

Marriages do last....but the question is...."How Long" :)

Ps. My friends used say... You must get married...after all happiness is not everythig :)

Jokes aside, some marriages do last a lifetime. All it takes is great commitment. As long as both man and wife are committed to the same, it's going to last. It's just about standing with each other through thick and thin....as you commit to, while making marital vows.

Take care.

Answer 4

it can problem is people dont undestand what work it takes. funny things is people say 3 in 10 marriages fail, well the number of people that got married 20 years ago is half of the number that get married now. Back then people got married for better reason and would stick around regardless. they also didn't rush into marrage. Now and days peopel get married for dummer reasons even more are getting married even thoguh they dont want to going into it.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe that it is possible. My parents have been together for 20+ years. I think that a marriage will be tough at times, but you just have to work through the rough spots.

Answer 6

Well, I think that it is totally possible for a marrage to last. The most important thing is comunication!!! If you can't communicate than you have no foundation. You need to have trust, forgivness, and understanding, and wiyth all of this comes love. If you have these things, then you have a lasting relationship! In order to have all of these things you need to communicate, I can't ephisize it more!!! Be opened and honest with each other. It is definatly possible!

Answer 7

I think so. I have been married for almost 24 years. Been through a lot together and we are totally different in most ways. But we love each other and made a commitment not to give up but to work on any issues that arise.

Answer 8

It's possible for a marriage to last as long as BOTH people want it and are willing to do the work.

Answer 9

marriage will last when Pele realize that love is not an emotion but is a commitment. Our emotions or feelings change but love should be more of a stable condition. That's why so many people divorce because that feeling comes and goes.

Answer 10

It's awfully hard to make them last I admit. You take mine for instance. I took a vow, loved my wife, and was very committed to her. She, on the other hand was not. She ran off with a guy half her age. I could do my part, but I couldn't do her part to stay married. I wish you better success than I had. It's not easy, but it CAN be done, if both parties are willing and committed to it!
