Do you still believe in ...?

Question

marriage that will last a lifetime?

Answer 1

I am living it. My wife and I were married in June of 1971. We have raised four children, none are in jail, none are on drugs and only one has a tattoo. In addition five blood grand kids and several more that are step grand kids.

My dad and mom were married well over 50 years. Dad always said the first 40 are the hardest.

So yes, I still believe it can happen. The problem is many couple marry with the idea that if it doesn't work we can always divorce.

IMO that is a recipe for failure. I realize that a person must protect themselves but a pre-nuptial agreement is a classic example of a failed marriage just waiting for an excuse to happen...

Answer 2

Yes I do believe on a marriage that will last a lifetime, it might be rare on an American set up or culture but if you try to see the Asian culture, there are many people who lasts a lifetime. My grandmother and grandfather were married for like a lifetime even though they did not reach their golden anniversary due to my grandfather's death, but atleast it still proofed a marriage for a lifetime. Some marriages just don't last because it was not the right marriage time or marriage decision in which the circumstances are not right.

Answer 3

I have been married almost 13 years. This one will last my life time I know. Why give up the best thing ever? My wife and children. A marriage that doesn't last a life time is not a marriage to begin with. Just my opinion. There are hard times and We have had our moments, but to work it out is true love. Good luck and take care today and always!

Answer 4

ITS ABOUT TIMING, that is the key point. Everyone has to be at a place where it is right for both parties then it will last forever. Most of the time we rush love and not really knowing that we have to experience life one are own, not in a commited relationship-marriage. This is when a divorce will occur. I personally believe you should be in your late 30's or early 40's to even think about being married.

Answer 5

In our generation marriages dont last very long. Once and a while u come by a couple who have been together for over 25-30 years. There is still hope for marriages that will last. I personally hope my marriage lasts.

Answer 6

Hi there,
Yes and No. Yes because I look to my parents for inspiration, No because I see what this world has become. In this day and age it is almost impossible to believe this can happen, but a part of me still feels that when I find that special someone, I can attempt to make it last a lifetime. Good luck to you and me.

Answer 7

yes! but sometimes it takes a couple of tries! when you marry people change because they don't have to impress or satisfy the person they are dating. Sometimes they change for the good and sometimes for the bad! I've been married three times and i can tell you all three changed oneway or the other! My wife now is not on to the sex thing but i am spoiled in other ways and that i try to return for her! it is a 50/50 proposition and you have to be willing to accept that things will change. Good luck and remember looks are only skin deep but the heart is the center of it all!

Answer 8

Its possible.
But usually if the two are understanding people, who have big hearts. Thats the most important pre-requisite for a lasting relationship. Compatability is very important, but even two people who are very compatable will have arguements and fights down the road, and if the two are not understanding and forgiving, then the marriage will not last.
Good luck!

Answer 9

I think marriage which is based on the right qualities will.

I know some couples who laugh together everyday, and who have been married for 40 years. That is something to be proud of!

Answer 10
