For as long as there is a loving, healthy relationship as a couple. For MANY that can mean the rest of their lives. I wouldn't marry someone if I didn't think that it would be for the rest of my life, if I didn't think that I could love my partner for the rest of my life, it wouldn't be very fair to make that kind of a vow. Marriage is nothing to enter into on the spur of the moment and for trivial reasons or to just have sex. Marriage is a serious undertaking and it requires a REAL committment. If a vow is to be taken seriously then that vow MUST and SHOULD be kept. If one or the other makes such a vow and there was never the commitment in the first place then it would be a serious injustice to have gone through with in the first place. I would never do that, when I make a promise I tend to keep them as much as I possibly can, accordingly, I don't make them unless I KNOW that I can keep them.

Well, when a man and woman marry, the vows they take are "til death do us part" so you're supposed to go into the marriage trying to make it last for the rest of your life . However, as we all know, sometimes forever comes up short, so in my opinion, if one person in the marriage becomes unhappy and if the couple has done everything they could to salvage the relationship and its still not working, then for both of their sakes, they should call it quits and go their separate ways.

Provided they married because they like and respect each other and want to help each other become the best persons they can be, for life.
Any reason base solely on only one persons needs over the other will usually doom that marriage to end at some point or result in a bitter loveless marriage that for the sake of any children they might have had or the pain and suffering dolled out to friends and family, should end.

Ideally I would hope for the rest of my life, pessimistically Id expect at least long enough to have a kid or two, from there its all about staying together for the sake of the kids welfare, if thats impossible then there is the whole contest over custody, so perhaps 2 kids (so yall can take one each if the marriage fails)

There are no absolute guarantees in marriage, about how long it will last, in life in general. Just take your chances and be as Super Happy as possible with your new husband or new wife! Life is extremely short! Enjoy the moment of HAPPINESS and make the best of everything, that you have. Good Luck!

Until she bleeds him dry of money, support, emotion, joy, happiness, opportunity, and all else good in life. Then she'll find some other guy to cheat with and force her husband out to live in his car.
By then, I'd say the marriage is over.........
Marry very carefully...Of all the things in life to not mess up, this is IT.

When people marry they usually expect to be that way forever... that's the whole point.
If you're already putting an expiration date on your marriage, you're really not on the right track.

If you marry them then you should expect no less than death to part you. I don't get people today thats why I hope I never get married.

The purpose of marrying somebody is that you know you are prepared to live with that person forever, or else you wouldn't make that step.
