Question

Nikki1989 · Accepted Answer

A lasting marriage is built on a deep, unwavering commitment to the person and to the institution of marriage itself. It's a promise to work through challenges, even when it's hard, and to prioritize the relationship.

Sadly, many people are simply not worthy of marriage.

About half of them do. But is it about love and suitability, or about the cost of getting a divorce and the idea of living alone without the financial support.

I've heard this from a friend. It makes me sad for her.

I would ask my parents, who did just that, but they have both passed away.

From seeing my parents in action, it takes a lot of work to keep a marriage going until death, commitment, compromise, and love.

It is always choosing that other person whether it’s the good times or when one, or both, of you are going through a rough time. Having similar values is also important as well as being able to communicate and just being there to support each other.

Putting up with each others’ shit and staying loyal and honest with each other

beenherebefore · Answer

Similar mindset and values. Putting their relationship first even after having kids. Making the agreement that marriage is forever and once both say I do there's no turning back. Whatever comes our way we're going to work it out.

Balance. Knowing it requires balance.

A relationship is two completely different people giving life a shot together. Go in knowing this and keeping the respect and it will have the best shot at lasting.

Well, a healthy marriage can’t work unless Jesus Christ is right in the middle of it. Promises that both partners make when they say their wedding vows are what will make a marriage last.
