It is human nature to love and to want to be loved. If we are loved by our spouse and we love our spouse we will stay married forever. If either of those changes...we will look for someone to love us outside our marriage, or we will look for someone else to love if we no longer love our spouse. The problem is that people get very confused about the meaning of love. It is not lust, nor is it forced...it is a natural flowing from our own heart that we must protect. Sometimes we lose touch with our love for our spouse and must work to remember it. Love is a living thing, it either grows or dies. It never stays the same. Many married people believe they should not have to work at their marriage...but you do...and if you do work at it....love grows. If not, it will die.

We're coming up on our 29th anniversary... that's a lifetime for some people, isn't it?
It is within human nature to be married for life. I know of several couples who celebrated anniversaries far lengthier than ours. But it is not in the nature of some people to be married for life. Some people seem to want to be married but don't want the wife or husband that comes with the territory.

Ask any divorce laywer that and he will say, no.
Besides marriage is a legal and spiritual concept. If the question is can you be monagomous for life? the answer is yes with enough will power. If the question is can you stay legally married all your life?, the answer is still yes if you want to. If the question is can you stay married for life and remain happy?,well no laws or spiritual beliefs can guarentee that.
It's better to be a wiseman to realize the errors in his life and correct them, than for a fool to continue for no other reason than because he has been told to.

Yes if you marry the right person (your soulmate) instead of settling for the wrong one out of fear of being alone or whatever other reason & then getting divorced when you realize you made a mistake. It's human nature to love & be loved but we don't always make the best choices...

Absolutely. 36 years for us. What would "human nature" have to do with it?
Half of the marriages fall apart because the two partners aren't mentally and emotionally mature enough to live together.

yes, but it will require an enourmous amount of understanding for it to work, in the christian angle it can work if both have things in common to take over when the sexual brb urges have waned, in africa due to culture people still do, theu love each other, as one with the family, once you are married here, you are married to all members as a whole
. well America are lossing out in cultural ideas, and morality is a bias ,,,, soo well.... I don no really

No. I don't like the phrase 'human nature' because we are sooo different. Throwing blankets over large groups must always be suspect.

marriage is concept created by us human beings to keep a family together for the sake of children they are upbringing if there is any. other wise there is no such thing as marriage. if two people like each other they can live together that's all. But if children are born for them they must stay together and bring them up together what ever the consequences.

It is the animal nature in us that make us heterosexual. It is divine to be loyal and committed to a partner. Faithfulness in human relations makes you faithful to God.
