I certainly believe its the intention of most people, when they marry, that it will be for life. And it IS in a way......because even those that do not stay married, the bond with that person still exists...via relatives/offspring/family pride/ even long-term hate! When a person marries, they are accepted into each others family and written into the ancestral history book forever. Divorce doesnt mean it never took place.
Time will either erode or enhance a relationship...there is no true predictor of the outcome for ANY marriage...just a hope that the love they had will remain and sustain each other. Circumstances, boredom and personalities as they can be.....makes it harder these days to believe BUT its possible, so if one is in-love, are happiest most with that person, have respect for each other and have trust....why would one fail to commit for life?
It'd be sad to not even try just because the divorce rate is high.....as your marriage might last as long as you both shall live.

In an ideal world, with 2 people that honestly work at it, absolutely, and it is not often a 50/50 split at the effort (in fact, rarely).
In the real world, it takes a lot of work, but it can/should be done. It seems that the vast majority of people are simply too lazy or immture to put any work into anything for the long term. They want the quick fix and bail out at the first sign of trouble.

Being in a life-long commited marriage is a choice and it is a choice that both partners have to make. So yes, it can be for those who take marriage seriously.

Yes i think marriage is a life long commitment that is why so many marriages fail today because people go in thinking what if and not it will.Marriage is not something that is a piece of cake it something that will never be perfect and you will always have to work on and try your damnedest to make perfect.

Life is Watt make out of it.We can fool awer self's chasing that cute gay that is no good for us but because of that bad boy look we fall in love and eliminate all others, and then we wonder Way things aren't going the way we thought they should.I think specially for we woman we should stop thinking we can change man,and think that love its not all you need,for a relationship 2 work above all u need a companion someone that u trust your self 2.One wise woman once told me the secrete of a long marriage is that the couple never runs out of love at the same time.that means u have 2 be there for one-another even wen it seams that u cant

Yes, I do! I take my marriage very serious. People these days give up way to easy. Divorce is the easy way out. I think real, true deep love occurs when you face storms in your marriage and you weather them. Financial problems, sex issues, children, etc... whatever the situation is you got to be willing to work through it. Love is an action not a feeling. And choosing to stay together through the ups and the downs shows real love. I vowed to my husband to do whatever it takes to make our marriage work! Life long committment!

the old model we inherited from the past was a lifetime commitment.
what is the model for the future? Humans have yet yo invent a new model for themselves and their others.
I am committed to my partner for life. I am aware that it is old model point of view. And i would be privileged to spend that time with Her. She is a GREAT woman and we are good together - it works better then a swiss clock.

Yes! If both people go into with this in mind, then it is more likely to succeed. Otherwise, it's like one or both people are just waiting for an excuse to leave and that's not what marriage is supposed to be about, quiting.
