A man that don't work don't eat. I would leave him too if the river of money went dry.

Some people uphold their marriage vows because they believe in it. For some, they get married for other reasons and have no idea what their marriage vows meant. People that say " I would divorce my husband if he quit his job" are the very same people who only want to be married when it's convenient for them but leave when it starts getting too tough for them. For these people, the marriage vows should have read "For better, not worse". Besides, who said marriage is always going to be a bed of roses? The true measure of the couple's commitment is how they bear up under the hard times, not during the good times.

Today's society doesn't know what marriage truly means. The dictionary say's it is "the legal union of a man and a woman as husband and wife. Where did marriage come from? God. He created man, male and female. Formed man out of the dust of the ground and formed woman out of the rib of man. God then brought the woman to Adam and Adam said the she should be called woman because she was taken out of man. So, the first marriage was made by God. Now, years and years later, man and woman have been joining themselves together by making a vow before God and man. The problem is that men and women today don't know how to be faithful and committed to keeping that vow, which is really a covenant between the two. Read Hosea. God shows man how to be faithful. In other words, if God is not in the marriage it will not last.

Sounds like your friends don't value their men. I would tell them that you don't agree (if that's the case), I would also tell them that you aren't into the male bashing , how would you feel if your husband was having these conversations with his friends?
I believe the marriages that last forever our the ones that give respect, love and honor to each other.
Trust me you can spend time honoring or griping and the results are obvious.
I love my husband and meant my vows. I have found people like your describing as whiners and a bit narcissistic, I am into solutions and spend my time keeping my marriage happy. I would rather get together with friends and enjoy their company. In my opinion I love being loved for me and having my husband speak of me as forever his not with strings attached. I think if you want to have an awesome spouse you have to be one.
Good luck!

See! This is exactly why I dont' want to get married. People have made a mockery of it. Look at Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. They have been together for like 25 years and never got married. If it aint broke, don't mess with it! Agree to commit to each other, but don't legally bind yourself to someone unless you know for sure you will spend the rest of your life together. And if my husband was miserable enough to quit his job, I would pick up the slack until he found something better. Obviously that person doesn't love her husband, she loves his paycheck.

LOL, you're cute. And very sweet. I do believe "for better or worse" however the world is not all black and white...there are shades of grey. While unfortunate, it still happens, people are not always who they seem to be. Sometimes people change. A lot of times people can't keep their marriage together even though they are willing to fight all day long...it's not good for their kids. Then again a lot of people don't try very hard before giving up! You sound pretty smart and I wish the best for you:)

One man One women...... I would never take my vows for granted. I made a promise before God to honor, obey and respect my husband. And that's what I tend on doing. There's nothing that I think can make me leave my husband.. I will never share myself with another man, and my husbands on the opposite side of the world right now..(Iraq) I have morals and dignity for myself.. I wouldn't give another man the satisfaction to even say, they slept with me..My husband will always be able stand proud and know that this women belongs to him...
Some do... Some don't... Some will. Some won't...
But I'll continue to do my part to make sure I have a happy long marriage...
Young and In love............

I believe that most people get married and hope and expect it to last until death, no matter what happens. I expected that when I got married, but no one knows the future, and I had no way of knowing that he would turn out to be a cheater and a liar. Believe me, I had to divorce him. I am now married again to someone wonderful.
As for your friends that say if he did this or this I'd divorce him, they are very immature. Ignore them. I think they are just trying to show off.

I believe in making informed choices, and sticking to them within reason. One can't predict the future, and I'm just trying to do the best with what I have. In theory, I would divorce my husband if he quit his job - but I took care to choose a husband who in all probability would never do such a thing.
