Would you want marriage to last for life?

I don't know how I feel about this.

Pro: It would teach people especially celebrities to be more responsible in choosing who they will marry.

Con: People in unhappy and even dangerous marriages would have no choice. It also might result in more murdered spouses.

Forever? That's a long time. I do think about marriage and stuff like that and i'm just not sure whether i would be able to make it last a long time as much as i would like it to. I might feel different when i meet someone who i don't just lust over for a year and then forget about though. The longest i have liked someone for was 5 years so... But yeah, i'm just not sure about marriage being forever. It just seems a bit long to devote yourself to one single person

I think a marriage can last forever if you really love that person and that person really loves you. Sounds simple, but that's how I see it. :)

I don't think that you should ahve to be bound to a marriage forever. I mean it happens everyday where two people "think" they are in love, jump the gun get a ring on their finger. Then it comes time ot living with each other and you realize you are totally uncompatible with the other person. Therefore you should be able to get a divore, because people are always making the wrong decision, and divorce basically just gives them another chance to find someone they are compatible with.

I think they need a certain date you have to pass before you can have a wedding. Maybe a year or so.

Nothing lasts forever, so I fail to see how one could make a marriage last 'forever'.

Because you eventually die, and I don't believe that love (or anything like a soul, etc.) transcends death.

a year is WAY too little time. you dont really know the person in a year. i was w/ my bf for a whole year, and eveything was amazing one month, then he broke up w/ me the next. you never know when someone is gonna change thier mind. it is best to wait a long time. if you are willing to be bound to that person "till death do you part" then you should be able to wait 5 years to get married and live together.

Didn&#39;t we basically have this debate in the "Divorce" thread already?


But I&#39;ll state my opinion anyway. Yes, it would be beautiful and wonderful if people would stay happily married forever (my parents have been married for over 20 years, my grandparents over 50) but that&#39;s just not practicle. Life is not that simple. People change. You and your signifigant other may be completely different people at 45 then you were at 25 when you got married.

Moreover, why should we guilt people about divorce? People say divorce weakens marriage and that people get married to young, but put some perspective on it.

Once upon a time, when divorce was either illegal or just not done, girls were getting married in their teens to men old enough to be their fathers. You&#39;re telling me that&#39;s a happy, healthly marriage? You&#39;re saying that&#39;s a strong institution?

Yes, divorce is hard on the kids. When my Uncle and Aunt got divorced one of my cousins wouldn&#39;t speak to her Dad for almost a year. She wouldn&#39;t speak to her Dad&#39;s new wife for even longer. But people healed, and they&#39;re all happy now.

We&#39;re told from a young age that marriage is a sacred thing, where two people unite and never leave each other&#39;s sides. It&#39;s a sweet story, and if that&#39;s how you want marriage to be for you, fine. I&#39;m not condeming it. But it&#39;s not practicle to just say "Divorce bad. Marriage good." People all have their own personal interpretations of marriage. To some people it&#39;s a life long unitement (is that a word?) between a man and a women. To others it&#39;s just a few legal benefits. And to most people it&#39;s somewhere inbetween the two.

Sure, it would be nice if everyone had fairytale marriages and stayed together forever. But it&#39;s not right to impose that definition of marriage on everybody else.


x3r09-would you say that even with an abusive relationship?

That kind of a system would be way to hard to control. It&#39;s not like there are any laws that govern how long you&#39;ve been dating someone. It would be rediculous to have to report that to the government just so you can get married in a year.

Exactly, it&#39;s supposed to be forever. If there is a man or woman who can make marriage last until death (Until death do us part) then i will admire them greatly.

is it a fear of loosing something that people wish marriage to last forever? but does it matter how long you love a person? isn&#39;t it the quality of that love that should matter more then its quantity if you wish to call it that, even if you had 2 days together, but loved each other like mad wouldnt it outdone it if you married and lived till death but in misery, because maybe living together might turn into hell, and lets face it, love can be corroded in many ways.. jealousy, living in poverty, anger and violence, drug/alcohol addiction etc for example. you might love somebody but if you go thru these things, you might eventually loose respect and no respect does kill love slowly but surely, you cant take it no more. and if you do take it, you loose respect for yourself and are as result unhappy, martyr= maybe, but unhappy. and if it was enforced by law or whatever to last forever, i for one would never want to marry for sure&#33; its like loosing a free choice, you know you are born alone and die alone, that is the scary thing, if your choice to understanding this fact of life is taken away by fake security of enforced forever marriage when you can delude yourself for eternity, where is the freedom of release from this fear which is always gonna be there however deluded one is, however much fake security one builts around oneself. of course there may be couples who might be able to be together and just with each other for 30 or however many years and make it in love and respect and be able to grow as individual, without loosing themselves in it, and beign supportive towards each other etc. but its a minority and for minority adjust laws for majority is creating one hell of a challenge.

Whoa, a little exaggeration there about murdered spouses. That&#39;s what marriage is: a vow of eternity shared between two people. If you&#39;re not ready to marry, don&#39;t do it. You can&#39;t go into marriage with a half-ass attitude thinking, "I think I&#39;ll spend forever with her/him."

In my eyes, a couple should have lived together for atleast a year, maybe more, before even consider getting married, that way they know eachother well..and before moving in, going out for about a year or so.

and even if people take a vow, it doesnt necessarily mean theyll stick to it, whether or not its the "right thing to do".

Well, there are plenty of examples if you look back at our grandparents&#39; generation, on the other hand, if you want an example from our parents&#39; generation, either you&#39;ll be disapointed, either it&#39;s too soon to have answers...

Um, do you even know what vows are? They&#39;re eternal promises. They&#39;re meant to last all their lives. If they&#39;re unsure, they shouldn&#39;t go ahead with it.

I didn&#39;t say those type of things don&#39;t happen, but meteorites might fall on people during a marriage too but I didn&#39;t bring up that exaggeration.

All I&#39;m saying is that some people have sick enough minds to think that an option to end a relationship is by killing the person. It might increase if divorce isn&#39;t an option.

But how can you really know? You may think you know the person you&#39;re getting married to, you may think you&#39;re ready to be with them forever, but can you honestly say that you know it&#39;ll still be a good marriage in 10 years, let alone 30?

Going by your logic, people shouldn&#39;t get married unless they&#39;re quite near the deathbed. But does that work either? Not in all states. I know two people, now in their 40s, who lived together for many years and had 6 kids, but never got married. Fairly recently he decided to leave her, and guess what? Since everything is under his name, under Virginia law everything is his. A lot of states consider you "married" after 5 years of living together, but some (like VA) don&#39;t. Thankfully the woman worked, so she has enough money to rent an apartment but her car? Under his name. So she lost it. He&#39;s fighting for custody of their kids, saying that he should have them because he&#39;s the one with the house, money, etc.

My point is, if these two people had gotten married their assets would have been split more fairly when they separated. But if marriage were forever, they wouldn&#39;t have been able to leave each other, therefor would have remained unhappy.

ANYWHO. Of course NOT ALL marriages last forever. And anywho, when it comes to assets: that&#39;s why you buy your shit on your credit card so if a divorce comes, you take your shit without heistation.

I think Whimsky was referring to the fact that just because you make a vow doesn&#39;t mean its going to last forever, even though its supposed to be that way. And even if you&#39;re SURE about it on your marriage day, things sometimes change for the worst and you become less and less sure ten years later...leading to a divorce, despite your certainity that it would never happen 10 years ago. 10 years is a long time for things to change, vow or no vow. So therefore, the only way to be absolutely sure that you won&#39;t severe your vow till death do you part is by making the vow on your deathbed; that way you&#39;ll only be married for a couple of hours or days, which defintely gives you a lot less time to change your mind about the marriage.

Vampire
11-23-2004, 03:23 AM
Ahh, I get ya&#39; now.

A vow is supposed to last forever but of course things don&#39;t turn out that way. Definitely agree. I am not condemning divorce as you can tell from my latter post. If things get sour things get sour. It happens. We can&#39;t all have magical fairytale weddings.

1. no shit i know what vows are. just because you make a promise, doesnt mean you will keep it at any cost.

2. when divorce wasnt allowed, men would kill their wives to be with someone else. like that king who kept killing his wives because they wouldnt give birth to a male (but of course that was long before we found out it depends on the male chomosome, but thats a different story).

There&#39;s the hopelessly romantic girl-adoring part of me that wants to say "Of course&#33;" but I relent because the other part of me, the dark, brooding, tempermental part says "It&#39;d never work." I can see reasons for both sides, I mean, you have people who believe Marriage to be a holy thing, like communion or prayer. There&#39;s others who see it as an institute of the state, and only that. It really comes down to your perception of the word, i guess. In my case, I hope that someday I will meet the person I can have 100% love for and with, and stay with them forever, but if not, and things do go sour, I don&#39;t want to become like my father and stay hitched to a woman who cares nothing for me, my feelings, or my beliefs.

that has absolutely nothing to do with contradicting myself. i was simply stating facts, that this is what was going on back then, when they did not know that males carried the x or y chromosome that decides whether or not the baby will be a boy or a girl. first of all, it really has nothing to do with this conversation, therefore, making it completely irrelevant to contradiction and the only reason why i stated it is to show how ignorant people can be. second, nice job making your statement void. you in no way explained how exactly i cancelled out what i said. oh, thats right, because you have no reason. its been like what? 3 posts already and you have yet to bring a relevant point. good job.

Whoa Pyro, lets not get personal and start insulting other people&#39;s IQs. Anybody can do that; its all too easy. But it adds nothing to your argumet; in fact, it detracts from it. Even if you can&#39;t be courteous (and believe me, I know how hard that is when you&#39;re participating in a heated debate), try to leave out unecessary insults like that. I mean, really, what was the point of that other than to demean Vampire?

And, on the contrary, while I don&#39;t agree with all of Vampire&#39;s views, I think he argued his point pretty intelligently.

If marriage lasted forever (or was supposed to), I think we&#39;d get a lot more spouses like King Henry VIII. Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived.

People and relationships change. Marriage should change with them.

" i think im losing I.Q. points just having a conversation with you." is what i said, and no, i did not imply that he has a low I.Q. and i would really appreciate you not telling me what i should or should not do especially with a conversation that does not even pertain to you. kthx.

Uh...I think "what are you 12 years old? i think i&#39;m losing I.Q. points just talking to you" would basically sum that up. If you dont call that insulting someone&#39;s intelligence, you really should look into it. And if you&#39;re discussing something in a public forum, I assume the conversation is open to anybody ;).

But whatever. I&#39;m not arguing this anymore; it obviously didn&#39;t phase Vampire, and many kudos to him for his maturity; thats pretty rare.

Jila
11-23-2004, 06:36 AM
um.. no. and the conversation was between the two of us about a statement he believed was contradicting.

oh yes, how mature

people that you love stay in your heart forever, whether you are with them or not. why does marriage have to be official anyway, why need a paper to confirm you love somebody? pagan ceremonies were much more beautiful then the charade in the register office, and in pagan times people got married for duration of one year and would renew the wow on the end of it for another year would they still wish to be together..... now that is what i call common sense&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

people that you love stay in your heart forever, whether you are with them or not. why does marriage have to be official anyway, why need a paper to confirm you love somebody? pagan ceremonies were much more beautiful then the charade in the register office, and in pagan times people got married for duration of one year and would renew the wow on the end of it for another year would they still wish to be together..... now that is what i call common sense&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
I like that idea. ^_^

I don&#39;t think I want to get married because a lot of people get married in their twenties or thirties, and considering that the average life span these days is eighty(correct me if I&#39;m wrong) thats at least fifty years of marriage&#33; Can you imagine how much the two people would change in 50 years. I think I would be too scared of the marriage failing to get married in the first place. I agree with "iamrighthereandnow" about the point in marriage&#33; :D

I don&#39;t think that you should ahve to be bound to a marriage forever. I mean it happens everyday where two people "think" they are in love, jump the gun get a ring on their finger. Then it comes time ot living with each other and you realize you are totally uncompatible with the other person. Therefore you should be able to get a divore, because people are always making the wrong decision, and divorce basically just gives them another chance to find someone they are compatible with.
yea cuz if u were married 2 1 dude and it didnt work ud b miserable and some people need a second chance 2 find their best companion
