How realistic is this promise?

Well, I can only say that I have managed to pull it off for twenty five years this May. Now I admit that that might make me some kind of mutant, but the experience has been pretty good all things considered.
As a matter of fact, I was just at a wedding on Saturday night.
I think that the serious answer is that it is only realistic if you are willing to keep the promise, come what may. If not, then for your own sake, it's best to stay away from the altar. marriage is a lot of work and not an estate for the faint hearted or the feckless.

Well judging by the people in my family (there are no divorces!) I'd say that is it realistic. It all depends on how much someone wants something and how well the honor their promises to someone else. Marriage isn't always romance and fun times. Too many people forget that and that's why there are so many divorces. There are times that people should definetly leave a marriage but overall I think people just are too selfish and leave b/c it's not fun at the moment.

Yes marriage is realistic. I believe that the biggest problem in marriages these days is that people go into it knowing that if it does not work out they can always get divorced. If you go into it with the belief that it is til death does you part then you put alot more thought into spending the rest of your life with this person. I also believe that marriage should not be entered into lightly and anyone getting married should be sure in your relationship, no question.My vows never said til divorce does us part.

This promise is very realistic provided the two are ready and willing to put all their energy in keeping the influences of our culture from busting them up.

As realistic as the two getting married can make it be. Some people really need to know it is a LIFE long committment, not anything else. If you can not commit to that, then don't get married.

It's just as realistic as the commitment each person feels towards the promises they make.
the trick is to marry someone with the same level of commitment as you have. Too many get married and have no idea what commitment is.

Marriage is very realisitc, but a loving marriage is not as common. Anyone can get married, but you have to get married to the right one. When you marry the one, those vows and promises aren't even a second thought.

sure, besides the fact that if thankfully Ever After is a call. It does exist, yet in elementary terms with trustworthy purpose. Marriages might desire to be consistently fed and nurtured, regrettably too many people forget approximately that. the main suitable reason marriages fail is actualy selfishness. a clever guy who married his sweetheart in 1937 suggested “i'm happy that happiness in marriage isn't lots a question of romance because it rather is an demanding subject for the convenience and nicely being of one’s companion" I actually think of that's what's lacking in maximum relationships. Marriage might nicely be completely gratifying and lasting. For my own area it helps that for the duration of my faith, marriages are no longer till death do us area, the marriage sealing has the potential to bypass previous the grave. whilst that blessing relies on a couples options and faithfulness, I even have additionally taken it to intend that i % to be with this guy or woman consistently. i in my opinion commit to artwork to be sure that effect. whilst the attending to be attentive to you era till now marriage is significant, i've got faith that the guy you % to be later on makes the greater suitable difference. additionally in making your determination of an significant different, I even have got here upon that their having integrity, kindness in the direction of you and their fellow adult males, and that they fee/admire you're needed features. All unsuccessful marriages i've got time-commemorated lacked all or maximum of those. Marriage is a million circumstances greater effective than going it on my own. It merely takes dedication and unsleeping options this is something that, realistically, we are all able to. do no longer supply up dreaming of a great wedding ceremony/marriage. it rather is greater effective than you are able to desire to in all probability think of and thoroughly rather worth it. I stay it and that i've got considered it. :)

It is as realistic as the two people that make those vows want it to be.

It all depends on the people who make the promise.If they are compatible and best of friends outside as well as inside the bed room then it is very realistic.Especially if they have the same plans and goals.Its after people marry the fantasy and then wake up and see the reality is when the doo doo hits the fan.
