Till death do us part?

Question

Is that even real nowdays? Any idea on how to make a marriage last?

Answer 1

It is real ... it happens a lot. But divorce is way too easy. A woman can decide she is done being married, walk out, get a job, get child support and alimony, and get a new boyfriend who also brings in $$$. A guy can just take off. I think this happens when one of the spouses decides that his/her unhappiness is due to the other spouse. Something like I am unhappy and this marriage isn't making me happy. I need to grab happiness while I can ... or something like that.

Foolish ... marriage is a pathway to life but it isn't a ticket to happiness. Happiness is what you find and bring to your marriage. Marriage is good for the soul, strengthens you in your place in the world, creates a solid foundation for the next generation, and endures all things. Two selfish people who aren't getting what they think they want may throw the marriage away but they will take their unhappiness with them to the next relationship. That is the bottom line.

Answer 2

Realize going into marriage it is a team event, you can not finish the race without the help and understanding of your partner. There will be fights and disagreements but remember the basic bottom line is you love each other. Do not say things to each other that you would not say to a stranger-"I hate you, you are stupid, I never really loved you anyway..." things like that. If you have a fight there should be a real reason for it, respect the other persons thoughts and sometimes you have to realize you are wrong and you will just have to give in. Then sometimes just let things slide. If you really love each other some fights are just not worth the fight. Allow each other to grow, take intrest in what the other one is interested in and have great a love life.

Answer 4

Yes, it is real or they wouldn't asay it. Too often we sa a society(myself included) rush into things. I married a woman that I had not dated a year,9her idea, I wanted to date a year then get engaged). It lasted 5 yrs. Did I not love hert? I thought I did but I didn't know her to be able to love her. I wish her well. Sorry about the rant. Long engagements are the best course. If you're already married, try counseling. Communication is the only way to build a relationship.

Answer 5

I was someone who never thought I'd get divorced. I married a man who did nothing but lie and cheat. I can't see spending the rest of my life feeling that way. I don't think "till death do us part" meant that we should sut around and be treated badly. I have no clue how to make it last..It's hard trying to work on things when the other peson won't.

Answer 6

Marriage takes work and committment. Making a marriage last means that you work at communicating with your partner, you tough out the bad times, and you love eachother through everything. Every couple has their rough spots and it's important that the couple acknowledge the problems and work to fix them instead of just ignoring them and thinking they will go away.

Answer 7

Marriage can last. But it takes work by both members and the deep desire to understand each other (communication). There are many good ideas out there, but here is one I like. Try to develope common goals together; build them around common interests and values. It does work.

Answer 8

yes it is very possible and yes it still happens.
How to do it? First of all marry the right person. Make sure you have enough in common. And you communicate well. Then agree to not nag each other, call each other names, Never cheat on each other, each day say or do something nice for each other.
Kiss and hug every day. Never ever stop seducing each other.
Agree to counseling if there are any problems.

Answer 9

Well first off be real with yourself and the other person. Never play immature get back games cuz that'll ruin a marriage in a heartbeat. And make sure you are in love not in lust.

Answer 10

do not worry about nowadays.
Think about your self and your life.
You cannot change the entire world and you cannot comment on somebody's action.
Do this for your self.
This needs sincerity in approach, action and how you adapt things in every day life.
Sharing, caring, loving, giving, taking, understanding, managing, compromising, to live real, no philosophy, no superstitions, be real and live real should be your motto in life. The statement - till death do us part - depends on two of you and in your two way approach to problem.
