Do you think marriage at 25 years old will last?

[Anonymous]

I know a couple who have been together for a few years & are now getting married.

They're both 25 years, really lovey dovey with eachother.

Do you think it will last?

A few of my friends got married at that age and didn't last.

It really depends on their morals, values, and life-goals. If those things are compatible - and they've done the work to verify that they are - then they have a very good chance of having their marriage last. If those things are not compatible, then chances are good that it will not last.

Far too many people commit to long-term relationships based on short-term criteria such as infatuation (this includes being physically attracted to their looks, or the excitement you feel around them, as this largely won't make any difference if you don't have long-term compatibility), rather than basing it on long-term compatibility, and that's a big reason for so many relationships failing.

Morals, values, and life-goals. Those are the things that matter, and those are the things that need to be explored - in detail - before you choose to commit to another person. These things can't be ignored, substituted, or gotten around.

It just depends on the people

Age doesn't really matter so long as the people click. Your other friends marriages probably wouldn't have worked 10 years from now either

Just like how there have been couple who met in highschool and stayed together their whole life

Obviously and very sadly no one will ever have the answer to this.

We (husband and I) lived together for almost six years before tying the knot five years ago... At that time I was 25 and my husband was almost 28.

Thankfully with hard work, and keeping everything crossed, we are still as strong today as we were when we first got together eleven years ago.

Thank you for the MHO.

Marriage will last when both couples decides that it must last forever, when they are aware of what a real marriage is, also do not believe in divorce except for cheating and continuous physical abuse...

Yes. Marriage has less to do with age and more to do with maturity and the decisions we make.

That's not a lot to go on but it's certainly possible.
