It should be for life, but we know it is not always that way.
Marriage should be between a man and woman, period.
Its a "commitment" to each other. Once you have taken your vows, you should not be with anyone else. But, again this is not how it is in the majority of marriage. Either partner has the temptation and many fall ... they end up sleeping with one not married to them.
The average couple today may make it to their 7 year anniversary before one strays from the bed.

People don't give marriage the same respect that they once did. I hear way to often "My Boyfriend and our kids are at home or My kids Dad " There is no shame in admitting that there is no marriage and people just live together for years and no marriage. I would like to see marriage make a come back! It is love. It is not just a piece of paper! When you love a person enough to keep those marriage vows it is a wonderful thing. People used to take those vows seriously, Through the good times and the bad, through sickness and in health! Not." Well it's only a piece of paper." and "I can just find someone else when the sparks stop flying! "instead of settling in for the long hall. No a woman does not have to put up with beatings for that I would leave. Nor does she have to obey him but they can sure stay together and work through there problems! My grandparents (fathers parents ) were married 64 years Grandma passed away 4 months after Grandpa. They slept in the same bed and often told each other "I love you!" My mothers parents were married 60 years my Grandma got sick with cancer & passed away. But they were married for life! I know a couple where the husband just passed away a month ago. They were married 65 years and so in love it brought goose bumps! People worked threw the hard times and the good always returned.

Personally, I believe marriage is a sacred bond between spouses - something that should never be entered into lightly. Nor should it be broken lightly.
This doesn't mean I don't think certain marriages should be ended - such as ones with abuse. Those were not true marriages in the sense of the word to begin with.
But that all those considering marriage should take it seriously and be committed to staying. Not just leave when things get tough.

I never understood the commitment I was making. Promise to want to love one another through bad times is not necessarily big things like sickness and wars and famine..it is nitpicking over stupid stuff..spouse assuming to know what one thinks and stuff like that.
I believe marriage is a wonderful thing between one woman and one man...when it works. It can be horrible jail and undesirable contract that you cannot get rid of when things do not work out.
I believe in marriage. There is no such a thing as the perfect marriage. Two people need to work on it. Cultivate it. Give it thought and time and love. It will not last by itself. : )

Married life is pretty cool so far. I just got married last year June and I am digging it. We lived together for about two years prior and we were together for about four so we know each other pretty well. To tell you the truth I don't feel any difference between being married than when we were boyfriend and girlfriend. It's also kinda cool because you have this combined income so we are saving more, we are looking forward to buying a home at the end of the year and we can't wait to have kids. So far married life is good and I am pretty optimistic about the future.

Although I have been divorced for over 20 years, I had a good 10 year marriage. We married young and grew apart.
I think marriage is great if that is what you want. I don't want to do it again, I'd rather have my own home and see him when I want to see him.
The first few years of my marriage were heaven though. That is a special love.

For some people, it is what they want. My husband and I both wanted it to be official with the state (although we would have stayed together whether or not we got that piece of paper.) I think people need to decide what will work for them. And I don't think marriage should be something certain people are excluded from.

Im scared to death by it! Im in my mid 20s now and I reckon I might get married only when Im over 30. Might. To me its not a neccesity to get married and the thought of having to share my cozy bed with a man for the rest of my life is scaring the crap out of me! I cant stand the thought of sharing bed and a room, Im too much in love with my space and privacy!! haha.. I cant imagine having to face him after a quarrel since we are staying in the same house! Oh gawd...

it's a way for two people to get certain rights (and obligations) that no other civil contract offers. It's also the object of many a young girl's near-fanatical obsession which is frankly a little scary.

it's something between two people who really love each other, and which shouldn't be entered into lightly. It doesn't have to be between strictly a man and a woman in my opinion. I think a man is capable of loving a man, and the same for a woman.
