It makes me sad to hear about relationships ending, but it seems to happen all too often. Does anyone still believe in forever ? Is that too much to hope for or expect ?

As the saying goes.....Nothing lasts forever.....we still hope though....human nature, but in today's society things have changed so much, divorce made so easy, that forever doesn't mean the same anymore. Forever, now means for the duration of the relationship. It's sad but true.

I use to believe in forever with my ex hubby I tried and tried to make things work did everything I could to make him happy back rubs every night cut up his meat at dinner waited on him hand and foot did yard work house work raise his 3 girls from another marriage and raised them like my own but the man mentally abused me and broke my spirit, I should of figured that I was his third wife and the second was an alcoholic that he had the defect but I still wonder if there was anything I could of done different to make things work but sometime know matter what you do it just doesn't happen and I really don't think God would want any one to be hurt like that, but still you never know there are a lot of people that find that forever and I hope for you that you do and I hope that one day I will to.

I do. A relationship could last forever... at least until the end of a person's life and perhaps even more. It happens less and less I think, but it's still possible, and there are still a lot of people that have been married "forever" (or at least many many years) and are happy.

Just stay postive. You never really know how long something is going to last, you can only give your best effort. Some relationships are meant to last, and others aren't.. and that's okay. It's just the way things are.

Of course I believe in forever. If you get married, it's in the vows. "Till death do you part." And then, there's that other one, "In sickness and in health." But, who really pays attention to those? Not enough if you ask me.

It bothers me that some people get married with the notion that if things don't go well, all they have to do is get a divorce. They want the easy way out. Then...there's the people who have sex (I'm mostly referring to teenagers here.), who figure that if they get pregnant all they have to do is take the morning after pill or get an abortion. Another example of the easy way out. These are two things that bother me most in this world.

Sometimes in certain marriages, people won't talk about what is bothering them, or they keep secrets. (I hate secrets...some secrets make me sick to my stomach.) They won't talk about the situation, and it just sits....and cooks...until eventually, one or both people boil over...and then, all heck breaks loose. It's sad really. I've seen arguments go sooooo wrong. I've seen a woman get dragged across concrete by her husband. I've seen a woman's skin be scraped by the concrete and her clothes torn. I've seen a husband knock a Christmas tree over and push a coffee table into a television set. I've seen couples scream and yell with all their might. Does yelling really prove a point? I've been in situations where the wife and daughter have to sneak off to someone's house just to be safe for the night...from the husband...on more than one occasion. Then he calls and threatens to throw all her clothes onto the lawn if she doens't come home. I've seen the husband get taken off to jail. Even after all of this...the couple have worked through things...and have made their love stronger. It's my mom and dad. They are so cute now. They have much respect for one another. They've only been married for 18 years...but I think they'll still together forever.

Temptation comes and goes. It's everywhere. But, it's up the each individual to resist the temptation...as difficult as it may be. Temptation has a way of ruining a relationship...it may not end the relationship, but it sure makes quite a hurdle to get over...

And, no...forever shouldn't be too much to hope for or expect...but sadly to say...it's difficult to find. I hope you find all the you could hope for or want. I hope you find, or have, your forever.

I do believe in forever--I've been married for 30 years, we've been through the death of parents and siblings, loss of jobs (to the point of having $20 a week to live on) while raising babies!! We muddled thru it all--yes we fought and cried and stomped around, but at the end of the day we realized we had each other. Sounds corny--but we're each other's best friend! Funny now-we can afford to go out, have dinner, a drink or two with friends--but we'd rather just stay home. Something nice about knowing you're with someone for the long run and it's comfortable and nice. I'd rather have a frozen pizza at home with my honey than a fancy dinner and dancing with someone I met 2 weeks ago!! Plus, hubby doesn't mind my flannel jammy pants with the kitties on 'em--he knows they come off! LOL!!

Relationships ending is a good thing, b/c you should never be unhappy in a relationship or be with someone that is unhappy. Forever exists but its rare. Basically its two people that will share the good times and weather the bad times together. I believe in forever, and I will just know when it comes along for me.

Absolutely. I didn't believe in that "one true love" thing until I met my husband. I'd been through my share of disappointments and ended relationships (including one failed marriage). Too many people get or stay together for the wrong reasons. When you find the right one, it will be forever.
** and the Bible says that "anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." Matthew 19:9

I believe in forever. Marriage is work and sometimes it is hard work, but it is worth it. I know that my husband and I can get through anything together. I know I am his best friend and I am his. We might not always agree, but we reserve the right to have differences of opinion. We try to think of each other more then ourselves, in a marriage there is no way to make it work if one or the other is selfish. Although we have faced some very difficult times in our married life, we communicate. Communication has always been very difficult for me, but my husband has been very encouraging and patient, we went to a marriage therapist so I could learn effective ways to communicate with him. He learned more effective ways to communicate with me. We tell each other we are sorry for mistakes we make and most of all we try to do little things each day to show how much we love each other. I feel that the love I have for my husband grows continuously. Sometimes I look at him and realize that I still get butterflies in my stomach and I feel very very lucky. While marriage isn't perfect, we try to concentrate on the good, and it is very important to continue to dating your spouse even after marriage. Love needs to be fed and nurtured continously.

they are able to't; when you consider that is a medical reality they are able to the two settle for or reject it. as an occasion, no one is going around asserting they suspect or disbelieve in gravity. Edit: indoors citadel: "Survival of the fittest" isn't the terrific way think of roughly evolution. Darwin himself did no longer use the word interior the 1st version of foundation of Species. What Darwin stated is that heritable ameliorations carry approximately differential reproductive success. that's no longer around or tautologous. it relatively is a prediction which could be, and has been, experimentally shown.
