I think its a combination of that and maybe the person with the problem WANTS to believe that.

again ... it's easier to blame outside self then look at the truth of what we choose

"UNTIL DEATH DOES US PART"

what's so hard to understand about this statement that people enter into this agreement lightly?

u tryin 2 say she shud ave him bumped off

bit drastic dont u think

Itch said:

But actually Mick's kind of right. I don't believe anyone should stay in a completely miserable marriage, but I wouldn't get married unless I planned on it being forever.

Really it is one topic that pisses me off. My wife and I lived togeter for nearly 8 years before getting married. When we realized we would be together forever, and when the right time came, we got married. We have one of those idealistic marrages that too many people believe are the making of myth. When we tell people we are married, it just doesn't mean that much to them. It is because to many people take and make marrage vows to mean nothing. That gets me

MickG said:

My girlfriend & I have lived together for many years. People always ask when we'll get married, and I ask them why do we have to rush into that? So people think I don't believe in marriage, but actually I believe in it more than a lot of people. I want it to be forever if I do it.

People ask what's the difference between marriage & living together. The difference is that I haven't made a vow till death do us part. I'm committed & faithful, but that vow is a big one that I take seriously.

so ur sayin she made her bed she shud lay in it
yes u was sensible not alot r

MickG said:

What happens when one person is very unhappy and they no longer feel the love they should for their spouse? I feel that most eveyone gets married thinking til death do us part but sometimes in life things change and ppl change.

MickG said:

many marriages are far from the typical biblical vows and there may not be that statement involved

I AM NOT saying you should go into marriage lightly or leave when the pool water cools off

just pointing out that not all vows include old fashioned
( though traditional ) wordings

we wrote our own vows and that to death do us part ...part

wasnt included in manner

I would like to think that's true, but I don't think everyone really weighs the meaning of "till death do us part." I think some people get married because they're the right age and they want to have kids.

And I don't think Mick meant that nobody should ever get divorced, just that they should consider who they marry really carefully.
