It's very realistic....it's society that treats everything as disposable. If two people love each other, it isn't even a question. Tomorrow is my 22 anniversary with my husband. No worries on a lifetime. You get out of it what you put into it. Not what society dictates.

It's not the marriage that links the two for life; it's
the two involved that makes that happen, and it
can be very realistic if the two are loving, comm-
itted, responsible, supportive, to each other, and
society or anything else can stop it if the marriage
foundation is as solid as a rock, how do I know
it's because I have been married now over 20yrs
and we both have had other energies try and
intefere but our wall is so solid, nothing or no-one
can knock it down.

I think its extremely realistic. the only reason why it wouldnt be is because nowadays people dont expect it to be. Marriage is hard, and just because you say the vows that are meant to link you together doesnt mean it stops there. everyday is different, and some days you dont feel the warm and fuzzies, and you gotta choose to love the one your with, or treat them with kindness and love. but if you try ,and your partner means more to you then being right or putting yourself first all the time then its really realistic.

Unfortunately it's not. Statistically these days most marriages don't last the first year, as I was frequently reminded while organising my own wedding. Thankfully I can say we're nearing 2 1/2 yrs and still going strong. I always thought 20 yrs was a milestone in marriage not one year!

I don't think it's unrealistic at all. If that were unrealistic then marriage would get harder and more unpleasant with each passing year. We've been married 26 years and it gets easier and better each year therefore I'd have to conclude that it's more realistic now than ever before.

I think that if you really want to make it work and be together with someone until death then it possible. i think that most couple who get married today dont realise that it a lot of work and it takes dedication to have a successful marriage. I think many modern couples also give up too easily.

Years ago people stayed together because they had nowhere else to go, but today women have careers and can get on with their lives quite easily. Divorce is not frowned upon anymore but it would be nice in an ideal world that couples stayed together.

Very. Being married for life has ALWAYS been difficult. But it's still realistic for today's society,

Is it realistic???? YES
Ive been married almost 23 yrs to my wife. My parents have been married 49 yrs, my in-laws have been married 50 yrs.
It all depends on how much you care for each other and how much you are willing to work on it because it will not always be easy.
Can it happen, Yes!!!!

i wouldn't say so much that marriage links two people for life as much as having children does. if you are married with no children, you can go your separate ways and never think have to deal with them again. however, if you share children, you are linked for life. it's not only until they are 18 it's forever.
