the question is not whether we can remian faithful all our life when we get married, but rather whether we are determined to stay with the person we marry for life.
everyday, we are called to renew the commitment we made in church on the wedding day- i give myself to you and i receive you. but words cant be longlasting to promise that people remain faituful all our life.
how to do it? it sure got some tricks to remain faithful, is it?

Remaining faithful is a matter of commitment and keeping a promise. A person who cannot keep a small promise is usually the same when it come to the bigger promises to their partners. It is possible though, if we live by our word. Infidelity brings to much pain. - Derek

Well, my life isn't quite over yet, but I have been VERY happily married to my wonderful husband for almost 50 years.
I believe the biggest hindrance to a lifetime of marriage is simply that young people rush into a relationship much too quickly. It is so common to hear young people declare lasting love for someone they've only just met. It is so common to hear of young people entering into an intimate relationship on their first or second date.
Love is NOT instant. Love takes time. It is so essential for two people to get to know each other; to get to know and understand each others' likes and dislikes, personalities, characteristics, traits, idiosyncrasies, habits etc - to LIKE and above all, to RESPECT each other. From this, love will grow and true love will culminate on the day of marriage, as each promises a total commitment for a lifetime - two people becoming one unity. This is the joy that will bind a couple together and will keep their marriage alive through difficulties.

Hi smallcloud! :)
I was also confused to this before.. How can two people stay in love for the rest of their lives? I'm sure they can be fed up with each other as time goes by.. However this only proves that "Love is a verb, not a feeling". Love is more of a commitment or a vow. Once you said 'i love you' to a person you really have to mean it through both words and especially through actions.. Love as a feeling is only an 'infatuation' and not a real love.
Like for example when you love your kids, you'd prefer to play with them despite wanting to have a rest because you get tired all day.. When you love your spouse, you'd wake up early and cook meals for him/her, prepare his/her clothes even if those chores seemed boring. When you love your friends, you'd find time to reconnect with them despite having busy schedule because you love them.
I've learned that the opposite of love is laziness because love is a commitment to a person. You give him your time, your body, your will your soul and everything.. Immature love is based only on feelings.. Emotions pass but a commitment, a vow lasts longer.. :) Hope I helped.

two people can remain faithful to each other if they're function to their partner isn't just a person who gives out love. as you can see, couples tend to last because they never stop continuing their roles as a partner. from which it requires being responsible, being patient, and many others. if you stick into your mind that you won't last any long time relationship with anybody then you won't really have it.
