Do You Think Marriage Nowadays Can Survive?

Knowing so many marriages broken, especially because one of them is cheating, I don't think that modern marriage can survive. It is so easy for each couple to stray, as the temptation is always there, as well as the chance. And People do not have a strong believe in commitment now. I don't mean all people, but mostly are. I am afraid of being married.

Yes, I think marriage can survive. Don't all married couples want to grow old together? Definitely, the answer is yes. But in reality marriage is not a simple walk in the park. You have to give your all to make it work. Not just love, but everything such as respect, understanding, compassion, time and you must learn how to compromise. I am married and I want my marriage to last a lifetime. We have a very long journey ahead of us and nobody knows what the future holds but I do hope we can stand the test of time. Sorry myLotters, another mushy response :)

Yes I think it can, but it takes a lot of work for both people..If one doesn't put effort into it, then it will slowly start to deteriorate..So before anyone even takes that vow, they both need to understand, marriage is not a bed of roses and there is a lot of compromises and sacrificing that is done during the whole marriage...

Hi candyfairy21, Yes i totally believe that marriages can last for long. I think there are always faults in understanding each other. I don't know why people would suddenly want to get a divorce these days, it was once a big issue but sadly today it is the way it is. I believe people have grown more selfish in today's world and this is on the it's outcomes.

hello candy, Yes,i do and still believed that marriages can survive in this new era. It is a matter of love and the two persons involved. We heard short lived marriages and it is very sad to think that marriage is not being respect or observed with sanctity as it is before (olden times) This is very common now,and the society even accepted this fact. And even if this kind of relationship (short lived marriages) is happening,i still seen and witness some couples who tried their best to keep their marriages a lasting one. I just hope they can lived and stay faithful till they get old.

It's hard to say if a marriage can last now days. People dont have the staying power anymore. People need to think about the couples that have been married for over 50 years and what it took for them to reach that mile stone in their life. I know they had many ups and downs. But as the say "love conquers all".

Yes I think so. There are so many people getting married for all the wrong reasons nowadays and I think those are the people to whom see their marriages falter. My husband and I got married for love, because we love each other. We went through premarital counseling as per prerequisite to be married in the church we were married in. We got to keep the workbooks we used and so can look back in them if we ever find ourselves needing the inspiration of what we learned about each other and about marriage in general. I say that those who get married too soon should step back and reassess the reasons they were married for in the first place, and then decide whether they can get through whatever troubles make them want to get divorced BEFORE they get divorced. If they're religious, they should go to a bookstore and buy a few books, a workbook like the ones we have perhaps... but divorce isn't always the answer.

Ye,nowaday the marriage is more and more practical than before,sometimes people marriged not all beacause love each other but some other reason that is hard to say out.for example the money ,power and so on.But I think most of the normal person just try to find a balance between love and realism, after all most of the marry are found on the ture love and it need ture love to hold together. In the society circumstance this days, divorcement become more and more prevalant,sometimes I think maybe it's really is the best or final way to solve the problem of marriage,after all nowadays is more different from long since, people's value judgment has changed and this change will be contiue. That just it's.

yes, i find this problem disturbing in this time. i believe there is too much demanding in terms of work, and needs of each other. we have become too liberated to be selfish much of our needs. I envy those who have got it long in their past. makes me think i have no luck with women. i don't have a sharp eye to look for a good one either

Hi, dear.:) Despite of the heartaches and pains I gained from getting married, I still believe that married can survive. But that depends upon the parties involve. Right now, my husband is not fully giving on us yet and I am still here with him. There's a great chance that eventually our union will survive this rollercoaster ride. But only time can tell. If we would only think of the welfare of our family and not just ourselves. If we take into consideration the future of the family we tried to build solidly.If we truly care for each other. If we don't cease to believe each other. If we don't stop bringing up the best in each other, then, maybe, marriage will survive at the end... God bless you.:)

There have definitely been a lot of rough patches in the six years that my husband and myself have been married. However, I don't love him any less now than I did six years ago and I honestly believe that if we have been able to make it through the tough times that we've experienced thus far, I don't think that there will ever be anything that will ever be able to tear the two of us apart. So, I honestly do believe that there are marriages today that are able to survive the test of time.

The marrriage rate today is just as good as it ever was. Every marriage needs to nurture and grow and blossom. It is so easy to let relationships fsll apart. It is so easy to quit trying. Marriage is worth the effort. It tskes two for a marriage to survive, and it can if you really want it to.

i really believe in the word forever.and marriage is supposed to be forever. but if you will just stay on with the marriage out of obligation, necessity or responsibility or because it is your duty to keep it intact then its better that you separate ways.marriage takes two to tango.it would never survive if only one person tries hard to make it work.its a give and take and not a one way street. i have a friend who suffered a miserable marriage life for 16years.she gave up everything just to make it work.she even forget her life to save it. but the question is why?why keep yourself miserable when everyone watching you can see you are slowly dying with it?why would you allow this other half to make your life a hell to live when you can still start anew? surviving a married life is done hand in hand with the people involved in it.for it to work out, the couple should be sensitive enough for each others feelings.

nowadays marriage are really struggling... most couples end up getting divorced, annulled, separated or watsoeva... my parents marriage did survive... so i think only a few will make it till the end in these modern times... ppl are so changeable u never know what goes into their minds. now they love you the next day they dont... then they find someone else..so its just a matter of discretion you can never be sure even how much a person loves you, the feeling is still subject to change

as long as we take care of feelings of love toward a partner, not salaing affair and certainly as possible faithful to the end of the marriage will survive until old age

in my opinion now adays it seems that marriage do not last forever, on a range of one hundred percent i would say around one percent is the rate for marriage that last, people do not stay on one partner

indicates that the trend today is rare for people to marry, the style and way of life has changed, and eventually tend to disappear marriage, couples are living in a house, or live, live the today and can not imagine at this time to spend your life with your partner, and a sample of this is that there are many couples who marry, or move in together after having had a relationship a few years and years little time apart.

Marriages can stil survive I think that because we have the option to divorce we use it , more often than necessary instead of working through it we serve each other papers, like some childish dimwits. I still strongly believe in marraige and hope to get married one day. Marraige has been around since the dawn of time it may be doubted but it won't die.

i do think marriage will survive. from know another to marriage is a long time ,not only one or two days ,maybe several yeas ,during that time ,you can know well about your partner ,if he/she can match your character ,if you two have common language , and so on. even now the divorce rate is higher in some country ,but the true love do exist. personally ,do not take marriage very irrational or reckless ,this is a big thing....

I always want to find a girl friend when I was single,but now I found it really hard to keep a relationship, not mention marriage. life is not easy, especially about love.
