Do people know that marriage is a commitment for life?

Question

i mean why get married if your going to get divorced in a year,i just feel like its kind of lame

Answer 1

My first marriage lasted less than a year. NOT because I (or him) was not committed for life .. but because no one, his family or him, bothered to inform me he was a dx'd paranoid schizophrenic ... but it became all too apparent over the months we were together. When I became pregnant, I made the decision to shelter and protect our child.

I realize that many people dont look at marriage as a l ifetime commitment, but sometimes even when you do .... it doesn't work.

Answer 2

Some people do understand the premise. in some countries there is no divorce. When I was a child . I thought that only movie stars and millionaires got divorced . I never had a friend who was a child of divorce.
Sometimes I fear that when My generation dies, morality will go with it.

In my time girls your age would start their hope chest. Things they would bring into their marriage. I understand the chain of events that kill Love as we knew it.

The family has always been the strength of our civilization. How many of you have your evening meal together?

Our Moms would call us from the window, we knew our Dads were home and it was Diner time. We bowed our heads and recognized God in our lives and that we were obligated to our family and friends.

I grew up in the fifties and sixties. I see the postings of teens that have lost the bonds of family and love.

If we had computers then , the postings would be benign in comparison. Every once in a while I give a hoorah to a teen with spark.

Marriage should be forever, there was a time it was.

Answer 3

. I want to believe that people don't get married to get divorced in a year. We have been taught that Marriage is a commitment for life. But we missed the part of What that truly means.
IN my line of work, I see couples that have been married over 60,.70 years. Not only do I see it. I feel it. the love that they have and share for one another. To them, Its not a piece of paper . T

Answer 4

Most people these days have no clue what commitment is in marriage. women don't know what a man is and men only want to be week little mamma's boys selfish and self centered. I would hate to be a kid in a young family today. there are no more men and girls have no role models of real women anymore. they all want to have a carrier, a kid in day care, no man telling them what to do, or what they can't do, and still try to be both father and Mather at the same time while being free to slut around, and then suck an Ooooops baby down the drain cause it's there right to choose. and guys care nothing about being fathers cause they were raised by feminist women who raised them to think that there not important enough to be Father's and women are better at it and nothing is there fault mommy will fix it so they have no clue how to be men, it is very rare in today's world that we find men to raise there kids and women to raise the families and be a wife to there husbands...I hate to say it but Ward and June had the right idea, and if you don't know who they are, well that just proves that I am right and the American family may be extincted already....(I hope not though for our sake and future)....

PS I have been married now for 21 years I have three kids all mine, I am raisning, and my wife is a real wife not a feminist fool she knows that it takes a man and a woman to start, raise, provide for, and protect a family, its a true commitment, and it's a work of love.....Clue #1 men protect, provide,teach,guide and love there family's....Clue #2 women nurture, nest (make a home), bare children and set the tone in the home they are the real power, a woman has to know that she alone has the power to make or break the family, and most importent she has to be her mans woman, because a man with a woman that appreciates him, and love's him, and knows how to treat a man (cause men are physical creatures) would lay down his life to protect them and be proud to do it.....

Answer 5

So when your husband comes home with a dozen girls phone numbers in his wallet and demands to be fed before the 3 month old baby - I should have stayed! I don't think so...

Not only that, but had numerous office affairs and payed a lap dancer?
I thought I did the right thing by leaving him - this is his third marriage and I was no 1 wife.

Answer 6

Many people do, and many people respect that for life. I was married for 20 years when my ex left me, and since that time I have found several other people who still follow this belief. It is still out there!

Answer 7

In my particular case I did mean forever when I decided to get married. However, she thought of six months as "forever"
What can you do? I couldn't force her to stay married to me.
