The question the thread starter asked did not involve love. She simply asked if marriage is forever.

It was a tangent. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

forever is only a word there's no such thing as forever not unless people will be acting on it until they are able to build a deeper bond between them...

"Till death do you part." Nothing lasts forever, but marriage in the sense of the marriage vows should last till death. At least that's my opinion.

Untill like 30-40 years ago, in the western world there was no divorce at all, of course not 100% but 99% didnt divorce.
However, in Asia things were a bit different, like in Japan, divorce were a normal part of life since forever, and no one made a big deal out of it...

I think it is a good way to say first to yourself, then to your partner, and then to the whole world that you've made a choice.

World peace would be nice too, but still not quite feasible.

Ah, yes... Marriage.
Two years later a big truck pulls up and hauls all your stuff away. Or was that just me?

Yet another sacred ceremony bastardized by those who refuse to take responsibilities for their actions. Please divert this comment from those who divorce due to abuse.

PCTEC i admire you for loving your wife for 20 years ...
What i can say is marriage is not forever unless your wife or husband is not only your partner but also your best friend. In one relationship love is not the number one reason. I can say that it will be forever if there is respect.
