Relationships end, but love remains forever.

If both people are open-minded enough to realize that change is inevitable, and be open-minded enough to try new things in order to deal with that change.
If both people are willing to put in 110% in their relationship, and have the gumption to tell one another when they're not. Also, to be able to take that critizism without getting defensive, so they know that they're partner is there to help, not hurt.
If both people try to put the other person ahead of their own needs, then they will both be taken care of without actually "working." Taking care of others should bring you joy, and if it doesn't, you're with the wrong person or something's lopsided.
If both people understand the real meaning of sacrifice, and that sometimes it takes years of sacrifice and not just a one-time deal. Also, to truly appreciate when one another sacrifices, so the other person can feel good about what they gave up instead of feeling angry or left out.
If both people are willing to trust each other as they would trust themselves, so they can relax a little and let go.
So all in all, yes. Even if you split, you may still love the person until the day you die.

Absolutely. But alot of people these days honestly do not think about the commitment they are making before they get married. True, there are people out there who are not what they appear to be, and there are relationships that end for very good and legitimate reasons. But if you are truly in a relationship where both people feel supported and loved and communicate well with eachother, why wouldn't it last? My marriage with my husband is not some cloud-9 fantasy, but we really do love eachother, are totally committed to one another, work out problems together and generally enjoy spending time together. I don't see why we couldn't and wouldn't stay together throughout the course of our lives. Good luck to you!

my parents made it last a whole life time...whereas my personal views are considered, i think its all temporary. it lasts till the gold plating wears off, it can happen in weeks, months or at the most a few years.
yes, a RELATIONSHIP can last an entire lifetime , but both parties need to be sensible, caring, forgiving individuals who can EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE with each other. a little bit of tolerance and mutual sacrifices thrown in could help.
girls must not wear their hearts on their sleeves. stress should be on PROJECTING AN I.N.T.R.E.S.T.I.N.G. image. Men are born chasers, we shudnt take this pleasure away from them.we shud let them chase...they enjoy it. never shud a girl act predictable.
In a nutshell, love MAY last forever, but one shud use a combination of heart n head inspired decisions.

Yes love can last a lifetime, as long as you work at it hard and keep it together.

Yes, definately it can. It takes two committed people who are dedicated to each other to make it happen. It takes a watchful eye on both their parts to make sure that the relationship never stagnates or loses it's desirability. It takes 24/7/365 dedicating youself to the happiness and emotional well being of your partner.

Heck yeah! It can even last a forever! Sometimes people change, emotions change and need to get divorced. But when you find THE ONE, you know it. I married my husband over 2 years ago and we couldnt be happier. He is my best friend and he still does all the wonderful things to show his love. In fact, in our wedding vows, we changed them. We didnt want to promise we would love each other until we die, we promised to love each other FOREVER!!

Yes, Absolutely. There will be bumps in the road, but true unconditional love can withstand any problems. It just takes a little work, compassion, passion, compromise on both parts.

If you are shallow eneough and he has eneough money yes. Otherwise no, never. I love my dog more than my wife, and that's the truth. But I have a bank account the size of fort knox and she's really hot and great in bed, so I'll love her forever and ever and then some.
