Yes I do. I will be married to the same man for 50 years in September. There has never been any other man for me. We have had our differences. We never yell. We clam up long enough to think about it and then have a quiet discussion, hug and make up. We have always been each others best friend. Be open with each other and communicate. .communicate and communicate. If you do you will always have some one you love to B.S. with.

NO! I don't believe in "until do us part". I believe that my husband and I will always be together. I believe that marriage is a sacred union between man and wife here on earth, and in heaven. :o)
My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years... we have not yet had a serious argument, and we have never said anything that we regret. When we took our vows, we did not say "til death do us part".
I know 4 years is not a long time, but my hubby & I are very happy, and very much in love, and we look forward to having children, and growing old together.
I also think it very sad that many couples (especially in Hollywood) throw away their vows, as if it were nothing. If you are truly and madly in love, you have to work at marriage together and not give up.
However, there is always the circumstance of abuse, and unfaithfulness... If that occurs, there is no trust and no true love. Therefore no relationship!

Yes, absolutely, although in my case, it is not worded as such since I am from a different faith. The essence is still the same, however, and that is marriage is for life.
I guess that is why I am still looking as I must be certain that the man is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Too many times have I seen people getting married in such haste only to end up going their separate ways before one even realizes it! Call me choosy, call me picky, but this is a life-long commitment we are talking about. I will scrutinize him under a microscope if I have to (though I do hope it will not come to that). :)
These days one cannot help feeling that some people are making a mockery of the marriage vows. They change spouses faster than I change my stockings! To each his/her own, I say.

I do UNLESS your partner is being abusive to you and or your kids, cheats on you (I believe in second chances, but not more than that), etc. I was in a 20 year relationship/marriage where I was being abused, and he lied, cheated almost the whole time, used me and drugs, etc. I finally got fed up, left, and divorced him. I haven't looked back since. From what I hear, his life has totally gone downhill (I was the one keeping us afloat). I have moved on and am now engaged to someone that is the total opposite of my ex. I plan to be with him until 'death do us part.'

Absolutely! When we got married before God, we signed a marital covenant, not a contract. Contract's can be broken. We also vowed for richer or poorer, sickness and health, TILL DEATH WE DO PART! Not that sometimes I don't want to kill him myself to make it happen quicker, but I do believe marriage is for life!

I absolutely do believe! Even without that "marriage vow in the church".........if you are both inlove with each other........loving unconditionally, even without a vow, the love you have for each other will last till death do you both part.

Yes I do, but I think you have to think of "death" as more than death of the body. There are things that can kill a relationship, but I also think that too many people A) don't try hard enough in their relationships and B) don't put much value on commitment and permanence.

You shouldn't be exchanging vows if you don't believe in "until death do us part". According to the Bible if you get divorced and remarry you are committing adultery. No ifs, ands or butts.

Since I am divorced I guess not! But actually I do believe in them. My ex sought the divorce after I was his "mommy" for 6 years driving him to doctor apt., hospitals, taking care of him when he was bed ridden, etc. When he got better he decided he couldn't live with me any more because I love my son more than him (in his mind). I would still be with him - and miserable - if he had not made up his mind to leave.

Yep. I've been married for better than 21 years. I will die before I cheat on my wife, before I leave her. Marriage is one serious commitment.
It's odd. I still look at other women and flirt...I just never would consider taking it beyond that or leaving my wife. She can be a pain in the butt sometimes!
