They took vows in a church before a supposed supernatural deity. They made a promise to the world, in front of everybody, and before the supernatural deity.
Most importantly, they made a promise to each other.
A marriage bond is supposed be unbreakable and indestructible. A marriage bond is supposed to weather through any storm.
Marriage is not supposed to be forever. Marriage is forever!

A Man marrys his beautiful fiancee and she becomes his wife. They had three children together.
She gains 100 pounds and now she is miserable and battling a weight problem. Meanhwile this cute sexy lady across the street
comes out in her bikini always making sexy moves while your husband cuts the lawn and one day she asks him to help her with something that is very minor. That intial contact leads to her seducing your husband to the finest and because his wife gained weight.....no no no no, because the true nature of your husband you marrried has been revealed. He now is as honest as he can be. he never gave a crap about you from the beggining and was only fooling himself.
Based on what I just told you as a scenario....it's why marriages dont' last.

I thought mine was forever he was kind caring sweet always there for me and our family a hard worker my best friend and I knew I could trust him with my heart. 23 years later he is not the same person he has become selfish and self centered lazy and in general a slob, family has become a chore for him and I have lost all respect for the person he became. Should I stay and be unhappy for the rest of my life or leave? Marriage should have been forever had he not changed into somebody I don't know or even like then I would be very happy. Also as you say promises were made if a person breaks those promises isn't that a violation to a contract that lets you off the hook.

Maybe one of the people wasn't the person they were pretending to be which would make it a false marriage. What kind of bond can there be when one party was hiding who they really were? Marriage is also supposed to be a joining of partners. When one partner behaves selfishly for years and actually believes that the behavior is protected by the vows that were uttered, it would seem that the "vows" were just a sham. Try living with a controlling nut-ball for twenty years and when the last bit of yourself has almost eroded away and the other person still wants more, go back and look at your question.

Two people can stay happily together forever. My grandparents celebrated their 50th anniversary (several years ago). 6 months after the anniversary my grandfather died, 6months later my grandmother died. So yea, their marriage lasted till death to us part and as far as I know they were happy. Of course when they died, I was 10. So from 10 and under all I really seen was them being sickly, but on their good days, they seem happy. Happy with each other, happy with the life they lead. My parents and inlaws have been married for more then 30yrs. They are happy. I have been with my husband for 11yrs. We are also happy and I can see us being happy together forever. You can't be scared of the What Ifs. You can't shy away from love because you are scared you may not experiance the happily together forever. Live life. Love.

Marriage is supposto be forever, and I hope that mine lasts forever. BUT.. there are some things that can't be worked through, and can't be weathered.. like physical abuse. Would you expect a woman to stay with a man if he was hitting her? And cheating.. would you expect a woman or a man to stay with a spouse that was cheating on them all the time? I believe that almost anything that comes up in a marriage can be worked through and gotten over.. but there are other parts to those marriage vows.. "Love ,honor, cherish and keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others and be true to her as long as you both shall live..." Now, if those marriage vows are broken.. the marriage is already over.

Marrige itself is a civil union between two people It is basically a contract and just like in buisness in order to end the contract the couple has to go to court for a divorce. People change as they mature and sometimes during a marriage the couple grows apart. It's no one's fault, it's just the the needs of either partner are different.

I agree with you.But I think most people think it is easier to divorce than to actually fix the problems in a marriage. People worry about the details of the wedding but never even think to discuss the details of their marriage.
Can you imagine what the next generation will think of marriage?

It's a tough question and one that haunts me. In my case, I have been divorced for 6 years. It WAS suppose to be forever, but when he cheated on me the third (and final) time, I knew I needed to move on. At the time, it killed me, but it ended up being for the best. It's horrible to be with someone you cannot trust

When some people get married They think that they are in love and they are really not.True love never ends.And for people who think they fell out of love never were in love the start with. So that is why some marriage doesn't last forever.

promises are made but remember we are human beings who keep changing. In the old days we were taught to persevere. But nowadays we have choices.so if we feel we cannot live together we can walk away and find a new partner.
