My boyfriend told me this, and it made me think. But it must be natural, what do you guys think?

I don't know that it is natural, but it does happen often. Many times when it does happen the parties are not happy and only stay together for appearance or religious reasons. A lot of things have changed over the years to make it less likely that 2 people will spend their live together. Less dependency on each other and longer life span being two. So I would say it is not normal, but possible.

now this is the question of all time isnt it. in my opinion yes it can happen for two people to spend the rest of their lives toghther if they are meant to be together. But in this day and age too many people are way too picky. about little things that really dont matter. like this person is a cowboy theres no way i would b with someone like that. etc. so obiviously it is natural its what everyone wants deep down inside to have that special someone to spend the rest of their lives with.

Doesn't seem to be natural in this day and time, more and more people who have been married for years are getting divorced, I am in the process of a divorce after 30 years of marriage, I thought I would be married to the same guy the rest of my life, but guess I was wrong, he decided he wanted to spend his time with the company tramp, and when he was free, she decided she didn't want him. Funny how things go.

Men are biologically polygamous. They could comfortably spend the rest of their lives with a couple of people, but with one person it is a lot of work. Which is why polygamy existed for 5000 years with few problems and monogamy has had problems from day one and only about 1000 years.

Why "must" it be natural? Very few other animals are monogamous many having several mates at once.
What made people first start this was when people thought of God (or made up God depending on what you believe).
But who knows is it is natural for people or not? No one, though I know many here on Answers will say that they do.

I think it's natural to spend as much time with someone who makes you happy. If two people get along really well, they will want to spend as much time together as possible and if that means an eternity, then so be it.

yes but it has to be the right 2 people, and you have to work at it and commit. Expect ups and downs keep your eyes on each other and really appreciate each others uniqueness and personality. Both have a reponsibilty to cherish the relationship and not think the grass is greener elsewhere because it isn't. It's all in the choice of mate.

I actually have a pal who is going by using an analogous difficulty. My opinion on the issue is that, confident, marriage is sacred. yet..... God gave us unfastened will and the skill to think of and clarification for ourselves. None human beings make the amazing determination everytime. at that evaluate their existence, it became into possibly the amazing determination. human beings exchange and advance in diverse instructions. They even start to realize that they decide for the form of marriage God speaks of interior the Bible and that they comprehend that no remember how good their faith is, they are in simple terms unlikely to have it with their contemporary companion. this is unfair in my opinion for somebody to stay trapped in a marriage it fairly is unfulfilling and would not supply them the help that they want. i might plenty extremely see somebody divorce so the two might discover that individual who's easily "suitable" for them, than see the two stay in a loveless marriage. once you detect that individual, you draw potential and help from that individual and that makes your faith in God that plenty better. Marriage should not be taken gently, yet all of us make errors and incorrect judgements. We advance and study and the subsequent time the two thinks of marriage, it is going to likely be made with alot extra theory and attention.

I sometimes wonder if we are suppose to or not. Some people are happy with being with the same person. I think it becomes hum drum after so long and the couple needs to make it more exciting by doing different things.

why the hell not.
not everyone breaks up for good.
they might get seperated for a bit, have ups and downs, but its natural for some ppl to spend there whole lives together
also in some cultures like hinduism in which getting a divorce is taboo and not a whole bunch of ppl have done it
