I have seen marriage destroy more good relationships than I have seen marriage make a relationship stronger.
marriage is what you make it. For a great many people it is a contract easy to get into and costly and ugly to get out of.
If you are going to make your relationship a life of bliss, what does that little piece of paper make a damn. Its just a piece of paper. its not your relationship.
we've been married 33 years. We are still happily married. I have cheated and my wife and I have experimented with with various lifestyles many of you would not feel real comfortable with.
33 years later we are still here and very happy together. And very happy with the things that we experimented with that helped us to find the relationship that we really wanted.

I absolutely believe in marriage and two people can stay in love forever and share a wonderful life together. The institution of marriage has always been wonderful. It is the people that enter into the state of marriage that have the problems.
My parents have been married for 39 years and I have been married for 7 of the best years of my life. There are many things that will determine if a marriage will be successful.
Both people have to be mature and completely dedicated to the success of the marriage ( or else it is doomed from the start). Each person must be honest with themself and the other partner about all things ( even the difficult things). They must have mutual respect for one another and never disrespect the other person even during disagreements.
Fight fair, love who the other person loves and if you can not find it in you heart to love who they love, you must at the very least respect them. Communicate, communicate, communicate and then communicate some more. Talk about everything - likes, dislikes, feelings (good and bad), good days and bad days, share successes and failures. Listen, Listen, listen and then listen some more; hear what each other is saying. Listen to what their mouth says, listen to what it does not say, listen to what their heart says and what it does not say. Listen to what their body says and what it does not say.
Trust, trust, trust!~!!!! Do not lie or deceive the each other. Do not judge each other. There is nothing more rewarding than to know that no matter what you say or how you feel about something or someone - that your spouse hears you and will not make judgements against you.
If you want to have open and free communication with your spouse you need to be easy to talk to and they must free safe with you. Stand by their side at all times and support their dreams.
Live it up and have fun. Never stop dating. Always wooo the other person. Let each other that they are the most important thing in your life. The years will fly by.

Since you have said hey guys I will respond. I think it is totally possible for this to occur. If you choose wisely and
place importance on respect and care of your mate and overall support and devotion to your marriage anything can happen. I believe everyone has a soul mate or someone that will fill the empty void many of us have when single. I know this because I found my soul-mate over 10yrs ago and well it just keeps getting better.
I think marriage has changed over the years and if people would look at the whole real aspect of marriage rather then the bling of the rings and the big wedding and reception. That marriages would last longer then the first few months.
Too many people put themselves in debt with a big extravagant wedding and then they have that debt in the marriage nothing is more damaging than having debt and no money.

Sure 2 can stay together until death. Either they have to be strong enough to eat all the crap that marriage dishes out or so weired no one ells wants them . Other then that marriage is just set up for the kids sake and the survival of our species . Whats love have to do with marriage or sex or anything like that ? I love allot of people but don't want to get married to them.

I believe two people can stay together for the rest of their lives, whether or not there's marriage certificate involved, yes.
I also believe that many people grow apart at some point (again, regardless of the presence or the absence of the marriage certificate), and it's understandable and natural.
Anything can happen.

I absolutely believe in life long happy marriage, for some people. My mom&dad have been together for 25 years going strong and my grandparents were together for over 50.
I think it just depends on the people though. For some that doesn't work, for others time makes the relationship better.

God made the instituion of marriage.
Yes, people can stay in love forever. That is what marriages of 50 or more years is all about. It is so possible.
"Marriage" .. is like most anything else. It is not the "marriage" which does anything wrong .. instead - it is whatever the people in a marriage makes of it.

Yes, I do. and yes, I do!
You just need to be lucky enough to find the right person, and take every day as it comes, with lots of love, faith, and patience with each other.
No marriage is perfect, but when both want to make it work, it usually does.
