A lasting marriage has to be cultivated everyday. Kinda like when you plant a flower, in order for it to grow and be healthy you have to water it and take care of it, otherwise it shrivels up, wilts and dies.
Have a great one!!

Marriage is a partnership that must be worked on every day. Just because you said "I Do" does not seal you into a place of permanace that will never change. People change, relationships change all the time. If your marriage does not grow and change you will find yourself down and out and thinking that you need a divorce, when in fact all you may need to do is communicate with your spouse on a daily regular basis of how you are feeling and what you are doing, even if it's just the hum drum of every day. When two spouses know each other very well, even if you only report the hum drum, you can tell when something is not very right with the other person. ALWAYS talk, never turn the TV on in place of that talking, (you can watch TV later) I will always turn the TV off if my spouse says I need to talk or do whatever it takes to make the talk happen. I will do the same for my kids too. Marriage and family first all day every day.
Your chosen career needs work every day and not just your regular assigned duties, if your willing to work on that aspect of your life you should be willing to work on your marriage as well.

Of course you have to renew it every day!
It's the same as a career (not just a job), children, hobbies etc. You get out of these things what you put into them. If you want your marriage to be permanent, at least a little bit of every day you have to think about what you can do to make it that way.
As an example, when you have children - you want the best for them. You want them to be smart, well educated, successful at whatever they choose to do. You spend bits of every day during their infancy nurturing them, growing them, showing them by example how to be the best person they can.
Marriages are the same. You need to remind your partner every day why s/he chose you, and make that person glad they made that decision. I don't mean by telling them how lucky they are, hehe. I mean by your actions. Nurturing the marriage, growing it, helping to make it the best it can be for both of you.
Good Luck
and, I liked this question.

I don't entirely understand the meaning of your question. A good, strong marriage takes effort by both people. Some days require more than others but then end payoff is WELL worth the work.
It starts with communication, tolerance, and compromise. You can not change each other but you CAN change together. No matter if you have everything in common or very little, it CAN work!
If both of you understand these things then the work gets a little easier.
Good luck!

Marriage is meant to be permanent. You took vows.

Nothing in life is permanent. Life isn't permanent.

It should be permanent, that's why you got married.
