Jack Kevorkian, M.D. (IPA pronunciation: [kɛ.ˈvɔːɹ.ki.ɛn] [1]) (born May 20, some sources say May 26[2], 1928) is a controversial American pathologist. He was born in Pontiac, Michigan to Armenian-American parents. He is most noted for publicly championing a terminal patient's right to die via physician-assisted suicide and claims to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He has famously stated, "dying is not a crime." (Wikipedia)

It takes effort on both parts to keep things going. If chemistry is there from day 1, it's easier to do. All marriages have their phases and ups & downs, the key is that both never give up and try to make each other happy no matter what.

Who says this? It's a jaded view of thinking of marriage...but I do see, where ur coming from, and empathize with ur views. I have some experience in this, but I"m a newly wed person, so I don't have much experience, and my views could be flawed in ur opinion. But here goes nothing. No. Marriage doesn't have to be the death of romance. IT all depends on the couple and how they choose to live life. Life gets in the way after marriage, u become spouses and parents, u have bills to pay etc...then u have to sleep and work the next day. So romance is usually forgotten...but that's when u should make time for it.
Many american couples have a date night. THey go out once a week, and just date(each other). They leave the pressures of home at home, and get a babysitter if needed, and go out someplace for a bit to get away...just the two of them. Then of course, u must let ur partner know u love them every day by showing it...in little ways. Then of course, the scheduled love making will come too...but if ur already rekindling the fire, u'll be sure to schedule in the other stuff!
There u go, romance resurrected in the bond of marriage. IT's not marriage that helps kill romance, it's the people in the marriage that allow matrimony to facilitate this.

It's actually simple to explain. You meet a person, you make eye contact and you know off the top whether or not you're attracted too that person. You go out on a few dates and eventually you end up having sex. If by some miracle you think that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person, you end up getting married. You start to live with each other and get comfortable with each others habits. The thrill is gone after a while, that's when one party begins to go outside the marriage for sex because, he or she is missing that something they used to see in their spouse.
My cure for that is sex till you can't stand it anymore. These are my thoughts on it. The reason why marriage is the death of romance is because, eventually kids and work get in the way of what use to be a spontaneous relationship. It's to the point that, they almost have to have sex just to feel a connection between them anymore.
Sex is the number one drug killing marriages around the world. Whether you're getting too much of it or not enough at all, it's the glue that keeps it all together; however , love is the back bone because that's what most marriages are built on. It's the foundation.
Hope that helped.

I can guarantee there are MANY MORE shack ups that end up in bitter break ups than there are divorces.
Why?
It isnt MARRIAGE, living together is LIVING TOGETHER whether youre married or not.It is when people let loose and become their REAL selves around one another is when the fun begins married or not.Marrige just tends to make people think "ahh at last!I can be my true self now and ease it in on the other party and they arent going anywhere...."
Most people do this after shacking a while while some hide it well until after the "I do's" but the real person can be seen if they date with no sex for a yr or 2.Their true self will come out believe me.
Why?
Because if they have to go that long without sex, if thats all theyre after they wont wait that long and the infatuation wears off after a while, and fighting the urge for sex along with hiding their true self is too much for a lot of people.

Sex, no matter how fun, boring, kinky, lurid, illegal or immoral, is always better with a partner. Marriage is like a 7-11 slushy. No matter how sweet it is in the beginning, you always get a brain-freeze headache. And for no apparent reason, we keep going at it. I know I lost my virginity between a girls legs. Do you mind if I look between yours to see if I can find it. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away. How do apple farmers get an annual checkup? If a penny saved is a penny earned and it's only a penny for your thoughts, How much ahead would be if I gave you a dollars worth of free advice?

I think in most cases, that is true, and traditional romance becomes a rarity in the marriage. However, I don't think it has to be that way.
Also, I think that romance changes in marriage. Maybe married couples don't wine and dine and go out on dates so much or have candlelight dinner, but they show affection and get romantic in other ways, like cuddling and spooning while falling asleep, or kissing eachother goodbye in the morning.

marriage is the next stage in the evolution of romance.
you cant be stuck in puppy love all your life, you have to move beyond that and put your love into action and test it in real life situations/adversity/greif and the whole gamut of human emotions, if your love is solid it will take you thru life, whatever you may face in life. Love cant be confined it to the isolated and insulated environment of romance, it has to grow from the sapling and become a tree that gives shadow to others as well as fruits that others can enjoy and all this has germinated from the seed of love.

Its all in the mind. Human tendency is to find something different than what we already have; inspite of the fact that what we have is really great. Grass in the other court is always greener. If you understand that you are going to get "married" to that person, in the dictionary meaning, its for life. One should understand that before getting into it and make up the mind to design their life further. not expect somethings to happen automatically or wait for the other person to initiate. Its your life and you are responsible to keep it green.

Well you have to look at the 2 sides of the story you don't want to see someone suffering from a disease that you know is gonna kill them why let them suffer through this journey but if it was someone you love soooo... much you don't want them to die you can't let go of them no matter how much they're suffering but it is a very hard decision.

Only those who are too immature to understand what real love is and/or are too lazy to WORK at their relationship after marriage end up saying that.
Love doesn't just "happen". You have to feed it, care for it and nurture it.
