do you think that you are meant to spend the rest of your life with only one person?

Question

its a very hard thing to do. sometimes it just doesn't seem natural. look at the divorce rate.

Answer 1

i don't know if 'meant' is the right word for me at least. i think it's something that everyone would prefer, but life doesn't always work out that way.

As far as natural goes, well we are creatures of variety. I mean you wouldn't eat the same lunch everyday, would you?

But when it comes to a partnership, variety doesn't seem to apply.

Answer 2

Its moral obligation, not a "your meant to".. if u were meant to , then u'd have to get married "OR ELSE" but no one Forces u to get married .. When u "DECIDE" to marry someone, u give that person your vow, your word, your promise, to give only to them of yourself.. to "Share" your entire life with them.. if u cant handle that MORAL obligation, then u shouldnt be getting married in the first place.. because when u give your vow, your word, your promise, to someone then u decide to "change your mind" all it does is show that your not a person with morals, values, and not a person of your word.. as far as the divorce rate.. its because people are nothing but a bunch of cry babies these days, that go on how the "feel" at the moment, and whats "convient" to them, instead of being held accountable for the decisions they've CHOSEN to make in life.. and to own up to them.. our society has allowed people to become lazy, have a lack of morals, and values, and have said its ok to walk away from your family and your obligations where years ago u were outcasted and shameful for getting a divorce....and im not saying theres not good reasons for divorce, but there are few and far between, today people get divorced if they dont like the way their spouse sneezes.. people use the union of marriage, as something they can throw in the trash , rather then a union of high morality.. so many people are on their 3 or 4 marriage, because when it gets old they just get a divorce and try again..what is this teaching our children???? that when life gets tuff, when its not the fairy tale, then just throw ur family out like garbage and start again??? If u feel that ur not meant to be with someone for the rest of your life, if your not mature enough to handle the responsiblity of that kind of commitment then u shouldnt get married, till u are..that way children are saved from a disfunctional family, that they had no choice in being born into yet , u had the choice in whether you got married..

Answer 3

Hmm it is hard to explain why people do not chose to spend the rest of their life with one person.
There are many reasons, for some it's considered to cool to have more than one person.
For others they don't take the time and effort that is needed in a relationship.
But in accordance to your question, yes I believe it is possible, it took six years but I have found the one person that I can spend the rest of my life with.
And that is only because we both are willing to do what it takes to make the relationship work.

Answer 4

If they're the RIGHT person, sure, you're MEANT to spend the rest of your life with that person......but, therein lies the catch...the RIGHT person. We all go into relationships thinking that we will spend a lifetime together, but due to various reasons, it doesn't always turn out that way. I went in to mine thinking I would, but when she moved out to be with another man, I had to move on in my life as well....it just took a long time to be ready to again. If,and when, I get ready to do it again, I will do it with the intentions of spending the rest of my life with her.

Answer 5

hard question but i believe that everything is meant to be. sometimes you meet you soul mate very early on and spend the rest of your lives together. sometimes you think you have met that someone until someone else comes along. sometimes people who are not mean to be together are because of convenience.
I believe in being with someone who loves and respects you and vise versa. If were lucky it will last forever. If not well maybe it wasn't meant to be and our road will lead us to our next love. Relationships are hard and sometimes people jump in too quickly out of fear of being alone and sometimes people give up to quickly because they are under the impression that love isn't hard to mange. Love and relationship take time, patience and understanding.
i think sometimes mistakes and little loves lead us to that 1 big love of our lives. I have been with my b/f for 11 years and i am just 28 and i believe he is the love of my life. I am one of those lucky ones who found him early.

Answer 6

I belief that there is someone to spend the rest of your life with you just have to finf the right person. Because true love exists.

Answer 7

I'm going to say no since I have been divorced. But in the beginning of almost every relationship you THINK that it is going to last forever.

Answer 8

people are meant to be with one person forever. but they have to go through those mess ups before they find that one. divorced people made a mistake marrying their ex's. that doesn't mean they don't have a soul mate. they just havent found it

Answer 9

I hope and pray I can spend the rest of my life with my hubby. We both believe in death due us part. I believe in all my heart he is the one I am suppose to spend the rest of my life with.

Answer 10

well do you think we were meant to get divorced and be unhappy? not me. everything in life is not supposed to be easy, we have to work,, and we have to have challenges to grow, so what if its hard, find a good spouse and stick it out!
