Why do we get married???

Is it just a passing thing? is it for a life time? When we get married, It's suppose to be a life time commitment-Right? Why have things changed so much in the past 20-30 years to make not so common for a marriage to only last a few years at the most? I love the old wedding vows that state "Till death do us part"! Sure my hubby and I are not perfect, and we might mentally strangle each other, but the big D word isn't even an option for us! We have made a commitment to our selves, our families, and to our Lord that we will be together for all times! To make it work we must fall in love with the same person over and over again! It is work! It is not something you get into for what can the other person do for me? It is self sacrifice, and willingness to admit when we do something wrong! "What the Lord has brought together, let No Man take apart!" it shouldn't be that when I tell someone that we have been married for 7 years, that they say "wow! That's a long time!" It isn't! We have just gotten started!!!! I hope to have at least another 50 years with this guy! Boy, we will be a strange old couple, but I don't care! I love him, and will always be by his side no matter what!

I know this is just a human opion, and there are many opinions out there! But this is what I believe in!

Great Post!!!! You are right people don't take marriage as serious as they use to. It's sad but true. I am with you I hope to be married for another 60+. LOL I don't even want to know what we are gonna look like. LOL j/k.

I'm right there with you!!! Eventhough this is my 2nd marriage (1st one cheated on me), this 2nd one is definitely a keeper. We have known each other for 21 yrs but been married for 20 yrs and boy have gone through some crap. It's enough to make anyone divorce each other but we didn't we stuck through it and learned how to communicate and love each other like we are commanded by God. Love one another as you love yourself (paraphrase). But we love each other.
