who believes marriage is for life?

Answer 1

i do..my grandparents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and my parents their 22nd anniversary..i want that. i am taking those vows seriously. some don't but my fiance and i do thats why we are getting married in a few months. i am old fashioned i dont' believe in divorces.

Answer 2

I do. I certainly wouldn't go into a marriage intending to get divorced or seperated - why get married in the first place if that's the attitude? I know that the divorce rate is very high these days - but I think that one reason for this is because people aren't patient anymore. Of course marriage could also be a trap if your partner is abusive, alcoholic etc, but if you have an argument you hould make up, if things change you should try to mend them, you should spend time together and share things but also give each other space. If people worked things out then more marriages would be for life.

Answer 3

I do, I take my vows very seriously & am lucky enough to have found a guy who I love & has very similair values to me regarding monogamy, family, loyalty etc. I'm also lucky because my parents have been married for 30+ years & I consider them great role models.

I do think that people should wait until they are older/have lived life a bit as you have more of an idea of what is important to you in a partner & can then find someone who has the same views. People do change a lot from teenagers to late twenties/early thirties.

I also really believe people should live together first, this in my opinion is the hardest adjustment to make, much more tricky than popping rings on fingers, signatures etc if you can put up with someone elses annoying habits & still love them & they can put up with yours then you're looking good (I know this isn't always acceptable due to religion/family pressures but it's just my personal opinion)

Answer 4

I believe marriage is for life. I'm married to the most wonderful guy, and we both share this similarity that marriage should last for a life time, and we both only intended on marrying once, I love my husband very much, without him I wouldn't know what I would do. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Also, the vows we took infront of god is we promise to god that we'll be together for an eternity, and we can't break that promise, married couples should solve problems right away when it occurs, never go to bed angry.

Answer 5

I believe that it should be, if I find the right person marriage wouldn't be a quick thing I'd have to be with them for a couple of years first maybe engaged and living together for one to make sure. I think it's a huge commitment. But I do think if you've tried your hardest to make a marriage work and you really can't then divorce isn't a bad thing, rather people are happy. But I thin people get married too young and divorce too easily.

Answer 6

Marriage is not forever! It is until you get sick of the person. People change over time and you cannot be sure that the woman/man you marry today will still be lovable in 35 years. People start doing drugs, they start being bad money managers and people feel unappreciated. People get divorced all the time. Marriage last only as long as you want it to. Dont be afraid to call it quits if you are sick of it. No need in wasting the rest of your life being semi-happy because you are wearing some ring (thats easily removable)

Answer 7

It isn't. I am 42 and have been married. As people age their expectations of life and love alter. Sure, there are people who stay together for ever but it is usually for the wrong reasons. Loneliness perhaps or just being comfortable with someone are some reasons why, or there may be children involved but I don't believe that being with someone for ever is a good thing. there are people who will no doubt disagree.

Answer 8

Some marriages were just not meant to be made. If you really can't bear living with the person you're married to, it's best to just give up. But marriage definitely isn't for MY life.

Answer 9

I believe marriage is for life.

Answer 10

I believe that when you say I do, the intention for love for life needs to be there, however we cannot be 100 percent sure that the person we marry will remain the same forever.

Some people change instatly once married, whereas others change over time. I think it is best to seperate if being together is causing too much pain, especiallly if children are involved

Answer 11

I used to and still think some marriages are for life but not mine
