Marriage is a lifetime commitment but it doesn't always work out that way.

I always thought that. Then I ended up married to someone who physically and mentally abused me, unfortunately it took me awhile to get over my disbelief in divorce... luckily I did eventually but not before a lot of damage was done. We are all human, and all make mistakes in our choice of partners, but hopefully we can learn from those mistakes and move on instead of being stuck with that person.

It seems like a lifetime committment who get the person they love in their lives, else it seems like a burden

Marriage is a lifetime commitment because God has bind the two person who love each other. But having an option to get out of it means that the two no longer mind why God has made them one because they broke that vow with God.

No I think it's called a life sentence.
Seriously, that's the idealistic intent.

For me marraige would be a lifetime commitment. I would try my best to fulfill this commitment. But, God forbid I get a husband who beats me and who abuses me before everyone , then I would not hesitate to leave him and marry someone else.

yes i agree but it should be a two way relationship. no matter how you wanted to save it if the other party does not cooperate then i think you should go for an exception to the rule. remember to love your partner doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your love and respect for yourself.

Marriage should be a lifetime commitment unless one of the partners is doing something that is not in the marriage vows. For example there is abuse going on or something along those lines then breaking the marriage is fine.

I used to think so, but I was married at such a young age and had such a bad marriage, that I would have been denying myself happiness if I stayed in a loveless, hate filled relationship. I don't believe it's a commitment, but a life time of happiness wasn't worth my sanity.

I think it is a lifetime commitment and when I said I do then it was for life for me, but my mothers first husband cheated on her several times and physically abused her so I guess there are execptions but if it was harder to get married then people would think twice about it before they did it.
