Yes, it's possible. As long as the 2 people love each other & very committed, they are adults (not children, not underage) & not marrying for the wrong reasons (such as money or unwanted pregnancy) then there is a chance it will last forever. It depends on how strong their love is for each other, how respectful they are with each other, understanding, honesty, good communication, they have to get along good, both mature, financially stable, have jobs & stay faithful to each other it should work out fine. Marriage is great & is NOT hard work when your with the right person :)

NO, not in this day and age. Years ago marriage was so respected and divorce wasn't even a thought.
Marriage today is ruining so many children across the world.
Today marriage is treated like some kind of a test. If the test fails, they easily get a divorce and try again. In today's stupid society, three divorces in a lifetime is not rare. The poor children suffer with different parents and different brothers and sisters scattered around. They personally feel like the mistake and because that's how they were raised, they just grow up to do the same to their children. Today, so many children don't even know what parents and a family is.
There is no reason to marry quickly. You have to marry the person you love and could never be without. The person you respect, trust, honor and will sacrifice anything for. The person you know for at least 3 to 5 years, between the ages of late 20's, early 30's. You should know that person inside and out mentally, emotionally and physically. You shouldn't find out anything new about your spouse after you are married.
Don't forget, marriage is a commitment to spend the rest of your lives together, till death do you part. So why would anyone want to marry someone that they don't even know?

Sure it's possible. It just isn't likely. Without much effort you can probably think of a dozen different things that a couple should be compatible with. Things like how to handle finances, what household responsibilities each of you will take care of, if/when, and how many kids you'll have. How the kids will be raised. If you are talking about a really fast marriage then you'll have no way of knowing the other persons stability. With some time things like that become obvious. There really isn't much reason to rush into marriage. It'll still be an option in a year and both people will have a much better picture of who they're saying they'll spend the rest of their lives with.

Not if the two of you haven't taken the proper time to get
acquainted with one another.
Since marriage is based upon trust how do you trust someone you hardly even know?
People make the huge mistake of racing into bed and/or racing to the altar. Pace yourself. take your time...meeting someone isn't a relay to see how rapidly you can say, "I do".
I'm not by any means seeking to discourage this matrimony
but I would at least like to encourage you to consider the gravity of the situation.
Marriage is a very serious step as you would be exchanging some very serious vows.
Divorce is a very devastating process as it might cause you to never want to fall in love nor marry anyone ever again.
Don't get caught up in the spur of the moment. Don't walk down that aisle because all of your friends have done so..or because it's been the only thing that you've been dreaming of since you can remember. Do it for love. And because everything is right. But know the person you're marrying, don't
just wait until after you've tied the knot then decide that you're going to get to know this guy, after the facts.
May God be with you in all of your endeavors. And may the
good Lord bless your marriage..whomever you wind up
starting a new life with. Love, peace and plenty of happiness.

It is possible. It would take work. It takes commitment and a desire to make the marriage work.
I knew a couple who married 2 weeks after they meet and they were married for 65 years until his death a few months ago. But it took work and desire to stay married. They said that they never went to bed angry. They always said "I'm sorry" before going to sleep at night. I feel blessed to have known this couple. The wife is still a friend of mine. She is part of my Sunday school class. She is a wonderful woman and she had a good husband as well.

Possible but not probable. The two would have to go in knowing with all their heart that things are going to be difficult. Personally, I think I could be married to almost anyone so long as they didn't abuse me, didn't steal my money, and didn't excessively abuse drugs or alcohol. Most other things can be worked out with a LOT of understanding and some concern for the other people. Love can come after marriage, it doesn't have to be present before.

I only knew my husband six months before we got engaged, we were married six months later, and we have been together for three years, I wish I would have dated him longer to find out his good and bad ways, I was just too anxious, and eager to get married, its been hard, trying to figure him out, and he gets frustrated with my moods, it takes work, I guess if you want a successful marriage you do have to work on it, no matter how long you have known the person.

I like to think it's possible. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married within only a few dates, and would have done so sooner if I didn't have to go back to Japan and he didn't get sent to Iraq. We have a very similar mindset and think alike in many cases, so are very well-matched. We've been together for 4 years, and married for 2. I can't say it always works in the long run, but so far so good for us.
