Going down the aisle, do you believe it will be forever or only hope it will? Do you expect complete faithfulness or do you expect your spouse to play around?

Some do, sure. Today's young people have seen a lot more divorce happening around them than their parents did growing up, so they realize going into it that marital problems exist, and divorce is something that can happen even when two people love each other and want things to work. However, I don't think that necessarily means young people today see the commitments of marriage as being optional or marriage itself as disposable. Some of them learned from what they have seen happening to other people's disintegrating marriages and have adopted a "that isn't going to happen to me!" attitude. That may actually help them in the long run. They may have a better opportunity to foresee the struggles and the challenges and not be so blind-sighted by them when they happen. Sure there will always be those who just don't have a clue, and jump into marriage without thinking it through, but then every generation has that.

Of course, when you get married you expect it to be forever, but you never know what the future holds for you....
A marriage can last forever, with both partners working at it... Any relationship is like a job. You have to do whatever it takes to keep the fire burning.... You can get past all the trials and tribulations that come into your life by having lots of faith, trust and believing in one another.... True love can conquer all.... Both parties have to feel the same way though....

I'm sure everyone hopes it will be forever. You get married with the intents of spending the rest of your life with the one you love. I wouldn't get married if I didn't have trust in my spouse, nor should anyone. However, as much as I hate, and I'm sure most people do, the idea of getting a divorce, if problems did arise and my marriage wasn't working out, I would end the relationship rather than force something that wasn't meant to be.

I expected it the first time--it wasn't what I got, but I expected it nonetheless.
I admit it was harder to open myself up to it and trust it the second time around, but I found a wonderful man who has been everything my ex wasn't--kind, caring, unselfish, and FAITHFUL.
I do expect complete faithfulness and he knows it. I think he realizes that is the big issue that would make this union not last forever, and I truly believe he is as committed to the relationship as I am.
This is it for me for the rest of my life for better or worse. I know in my heart he feels the same way. We love and respect each other and are looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together.

If I marry again, I expect it will last as long as it is good and right for us both (however long that may be). However I wouldn't marry someone if I felt the relationship would only be fairly short term.
I absolutely expect faithfulness or I wouldn't be with that person. That doesn't mean they will match my expectation, but if they don't, the relationship will end.

I expect complete faithfulness and am committed to giving complete faithfulness, as well. If I "expected" my spouse to play around, there'd be no point in staying with him, let alone marrying him.

I got married with full intention of our marriage lasting for the rest of my life, but I also know there's a possibility our marriage won't last...especially knowing about 1/2 of marriages end in divorce and even more than that amount end when deployments are involved. I hope for the best but know the worst is always possible.

This time around I expect that it will last a lifetime and that we will continue to be completely faithful to each other.

I have complete faith in my wife that she has never nor will have any desire to play around & she also trusts me 100%. This is in spite of a few rumours that I have mucked around with at least 5 girls & 2 guys since 2005, but Ihave never given her any reason to doubt me & she never even thought for a minute that those rumours where remotly true. I can honestly say they are untrue. I really do see us being together till death.
