Do you think Marriage should be till death do we part? do you agree or not?

Answer 1

yes, it should

that's what marriage is. you're committing yourselves to one another for life. if you don't think you can keep that committment, then don't make it.

Answer 2

Marriage is a legal contract forming a partnership between two people. Most people enter marriage expecting it to be for life, some have a religious backing to it as well. It is, however, still a partnership contract and, like all such contracts, should be capable of dissolution if the partnership breaks down. There have to be provisos for any children as a result of the partnership but marriages should still be able to be ended. The people involved are human after all and ideals sometimes fade with time.

People getting married can pledge to stay together til death if they choose to do so but such a pledge should never be binding or enforceable by law.

Answer 3

Although divorced twice, yes, I do agree.

Ironically, just today, my girlfriend and I were discussing our two marriages each and why, since we both grew up with two parents who worked at their marriages and provided us with loving homes, that we, later, divorced.

I realized that my first marriage was one that should have ended, for a variety of reasons I won't go into here. I was just too young to be able to discern the signposts before I said I Do.

However, my second marriage was to a really good man with whom I am still friends...not romantically, but we kept the best of our previous union and are both devoted to our children and grands.

My mistake in that marriage - and his? - neither of us realizing the problem that caused the breakup could have been worked on and possibly ameriolated with commitment.

We live and we learn.

Marriage [in my humble opinion] is not a lifelong romance but rather a lifelong commitment to support each other; share; be honest; build experiences; be best friends and make some dreams of each come to fruition. THAT brings love of the sustaining type

Living with anyone else takes effort, compromise and understanding........as we age we understand that better :-)

Although today I have learned to live as an empty nester and enjoy my 'singleness' I do at times think how much nicer it would be to share this wonder age with another.

Answer 4

It is a bit of an iffy thing to commit to, but sometimes things just happen. People find out that the person they thought they would live a long life with, doesn't turn out like they expected. That's why they get a divorce. Yes, it would be nice if there were couples that would be with each other until the day they died, but sometimes life doesn't work that way. There are too many chances to take and that's why I've never been in a relationship and never will. And I'm already thirteen. Gosh, I'm smart!

Answer 5

it takes 2 people to make a marriage, if one wants out and makes the other miserable, then it should end. The death of a marriage parts

Answer 6

Depends of the two people who are married?
If he refuses to work then he is not accepting his responsibility to support his family.
What if he is a alcoholic or a drug addict or a gambler or beats his wife and kids?
Not only physical abuse but verbal abuse. He goes out on her and beats her for complaining.
Lot's of legitimated reasons for divorce.
If he doesn't do any of the above. He has a job and pays his bills and is not an alcoholic, or drug addict, gambler, not a don of the underworld of crime. Has girl friends all over the place. But a regular faithful husband that accepts his marriage vows seriously. You would be crazy to divorce such a man. He may be the last one left like that.
Anything else is extra. Oh, I forgot race car driver, shouldn't be in dangerous sports. But that is not a reason for divorce it is just a good idea.

Answer 7

I have been married 3 times, and if I still had to be married till death, then someone would be dead and it's not me. No, I do not agree, Life kicks you in the rear and people are not who they seem to be, or things change. There are just too many variables. If you are lucky things work out and more power to you.

Answer 8

If more people put as much energy and time into their marriages as they do the WEDDING (costing thousands of needless dollars!), there'd be more marriages lasting UNTIL DEATH. Instead, we get spoiled brats who get married and refuse to put the other person first in their life and always want THEIR way. Things get a little rough, and they run away from the marriage, in one way or another. Selfish butt heads are the ones who cause their marriage to disintegrate.
(getting close to my 39th anniversary, by putting HER first, and vice versa).

Answer 9

It would be nice if things always worked out that way, but they don't. I do believe that marriage is a lot of hard work, and it should be. If it's not worth the work then why work towards a happy one. But, if after you've tried everything you know and it still isn't working, death should not be the only way out.

Answer 10

Of course it should! Marriage shouldn't ever be a passive thing not to be taken seriously. It is a holy bonding far more powerful than just dating and living together could ever behold.
I disagree with divorce (unless there was abuse involved). It ruins Marriage. Choosing my mate is something I refuse to mess up on.

Yes, i think it should be until "death do we part".

Answer 11

I agreed before my first marriage. During that marriage I had my mind changed for me.
Whilst single for ten years after that I laughed at the thought of marriage.
Then I met Mr. Eyedontnose and did the whole thing all over again - and meant every vow that I took - 'til death us do part.

So - horses for courses - sometimes you get it right - sometimes wrong, and if its wrong - get out.

Sorry to dissappoint McTeacake and Goldwing if they are waiting to chase me down the aisle!
