I think it's still possible. I think what happens is that people think they've met that one person when they really haven't. So they end up cheating on them and later marrying the right person for them(usually not always). I think people should just date for a long time and then get married, instead of dating for a few months or a year and then saying yeah, you're the only one for me. I can see in certain situations where that wouldn't work, like dating ppl in the military or something similar to that. I still think you can find that one person to be with forever, you just have to sort through the others before you find them. If you really do love someone then nothing that life will through at it will triumph. Love doesn't make you cheat on your partner, leave them, or hurt them. That 's not love. So when you find the person you can't do those things to I guess then you've found the one.

Yes, love can last throughout a couple's life time. My grandparents are getting ready to celebrate 65 years and believe me, they have had their ups and downs.
Marriage is a commitment and you make promises when you get married (vows). People who keep those promises have marriages that last. I think today most couples don't take it seriously and expect marriage to be all fun and games. It's not.
Find someone that believes marriage is a life long commitment and who will stay and work on the marriage through good times and bad! It is possible. It just isn't easy, nor should it be, as great things usually aren't. But, great things are worth the work. I know, I look at my grandparents and see it. They have a lifetime of memories together which could never be shared with anyone else or have been shared had they cut and run the first time a problem came up.
Find someone with the right attitude and thoughts about marriage and you will be fine. Look at their family history, that is a good indicator. We do what we are taught.
Good luck. And keep your faith in marriage. God created it and he gave instructions on how to stay happily married. It works.

If you find that special person in life, then yes you both can definitely find a life that feels like heaven on earth. The problem today is that most people think if the sex is great to begin with that's all you need to make it last forever. They need to become your closest and dearest friend first. Someone that you can be yourself with and tell anything to. Someone that you know you can depend on no matter what bad things in life come your way. Intimacy will come into play during this, but you will find that if you have found the love of your life you will feel great just being around them and sharing your time with them. Many people will never know what this is because they haven't tried to find a person for the right reasons. That's why there are so many divorces.

There are no gaurantees in life unfortunately. You can however do your very best to be a good person and find a woman whom you truly love and respect. If you two can stay faithful and keep the honesty, communication and respect going then everything else will fall into place. Marriage takes work and it helps if you marry somene you are friends with and know you are truly in love with, not just lust. Don't ever rush into marriage, take your time and find out for sure if this is the person you are willing to spend your life with.
Best Wishes!

There are many couples in today's society that are extremely happy with their marriage. If you truly love someone, your marriage can withstand anything. It's all in the people involved. If they can withstand anything that life throws at them, then they were not meant to be together in the first place. My husband and I have been together for 17 years. We have 4 children together and we have been through some really rough issues. He has cheated, but we worked through it and realized that our love is worth so much that it is worth working at making it better. We realized the reason why we became one and fought to make it that way again.
Every couple has issues, it will always be that way. But, if you have faith in yourself, you will get through it.

Well in todays society, it is very tough to stay happily married when everyone else around is either unhappy, fighting, cheating and divorcing. This rubs off on you and creates psychological problems as you feel you should be conforming to societies norm and be unhappy and etc..
However, if you found someone who you can talk to for hours about anything, makes you laugh and change for the better, who/what is society to say that you cant have that for real and keep it forever? Marriage isnt easy and so, should only be entered with outmost seriousness..Dont worry, when you found the one person, it will all fall into place.
For your friends who are cheating/divorcing, its either they are easily tempted or dont bother to work things out with their partners..Use them as examples as to how you DONT want ur life to turn out to be..Goodluck!

My parents have been together 35 yrs
my sis has been married 11 yrs and she and her husband have never once talked about divorce and seem to love each other more than any other couple I know
and I have been with a guy for 4 yrs and have never been happier we are getting married I have no plan to EVER cheat or divorce him he is the love of my life and will do what I can to keep him happy he treats me like a queen he is my king
relationships often end because people do not want to work at them or only one half wants to work at them
it has to come from both people

You cannot look at what your friends are doing. When you get married it is a gamble so therefor you should get to know the person really well but still there is no guarantees that it will work out. You just have to take the chance and love that person no matter what annoying quirks that they have. You need to be able to communicate with one another when something is bothering you. You should always tell you significant other that you love them everyday and try to do special things for one another. I have been with my husband for 8 years and we have our ups and downs but you have to forgive the stupid little arguements that the two of you share.

Well I did and I could've been happy for the rest of my life, unfortunately he obviously didn't feel the same! However 2 of my best friends have the best husbands ever! They are lucky girls and they are very lucky guys! I see no reason why they shouldn't be happy for the rest of their lives. And so they keep telling me it will happen for me one day too. Fingers crossed!

I am forever asking this question to people. I am also disgusted with the way people are behaving these days. I have two words for you. ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! You need to make sure you are looking for a person who understands the meaning of communication and honesty. There is no perfect person. Is there a great situation waiting? Yes there is. You must have standards, integrity, and convictions. You must look for a person who understands the meaning of "partner". These people think of love as a combination of respect, honor, and pride in their partner. These relationships last forever. They evolve, but last forever.
