is marriage the end of all good things in life???

Think of it this way.  There are good things you can enjoy only when your single.  On the other hand, there are some great things that you can only get when your married

Yes and no based on why those events took place. Marriage appears to be the way of life in the society so most of us are getting married. That is the divine way to continue the  life cycle. Divorce is a result of modern civilization. If purpose of life is to have peaceful life and then for some divorce may be a solution.

lets see I have been to 6 weddings and all six are divorced.....sick....\nWhen my wife and I got married we got married for life...there is no way out of our marriage because we signed a agreement under the Lord's eyes and in one of his buildings....

Marriage is saying goodbye to:\n\nLonely nights\nA Single income home\nCrying alone\nSleeping next to the wrong person\nHaving sex with the wrong people\nCheating significant others\nWondering when will I find someone\nFearing growing old alone

IMO... our lives are much more complex than our equivalents from 50 years ago and thus it's more likely for married people to grow in different directions over time (values, needs, etc.). Add to that how easy and acceptable it is to get a divorce, and how quick we are to dispose of things that we no longer want, and you get an increasing percentage.\nI wouldn't be surprised if in the not too distant future the average length of a marriage drops to ~5 years and the average number of marriages per person increases to 2+.\nA parallel to consider: how many different circles of friends do you have and how often have you joined new ones and left others behind over your life? (grade school, high school, college, jobs, etc.). We are a nomadic species. :)

Amen sister! lol I was thinking I was the only one who felt that way. I married my husband for life....and it is the best relationship ever because I know his vows were sincere too...Seems like no one wants to work at relationships these days...I think its too many TV shows that show love and romance as all fun and games and break ups as nothing major...people have no idea how great it is to have a best friend, a spouse, and a lover all in one!

My opinion is it doesn't work. Marriage become sour at the end of the day.

Very true. Society is slowly breaking down in every way possible. It's really upsetting. The future is bleak. I'm young and I fear for myself- my family to be- my husband to be.

Hey tleigh...well after what i just read, it seems to me that the 2 of you are happy with the way things are now.  If this is the case then why ruin a good thing.  I believe the only time 2 people should get married is if they are both really committed to the whole marriage thing.  But, if you still have to stop and ask yourself if this is a good thing then most likely its not gonna be. But, like I said earlier,  you 2 seem to be doing just fine the way things are.  You know how the old phrase goes..."Don't fix it , if it ain't broke"  As of right now, it doesnt seem as if anything is broke in this relationship....Good luck with everything, tleigh...

my late husband and i went to our apartment told everyone we were going out of town.  It was great.  As for what is the best place i dont really think that what is right for one is right for another as long as your there with each other sharing your love it shouldn't matter wherer you go though some would say its nice if there was things to do so go somewhere you like to do some of the things offered or make your own things up to do as we did be creative. we were married for over 15 yrs before cancer killed him cherish each and every moment for you'll never get those moments back

I think anything has time and sex is good after marriage... it make you more secure and has more meaning into it.\nmarriage as a "fortress for well-being", the normal and healthy state for adults, where sexual feelings can be safely expressed in a spirit of love. ... are expected to be completely chaste before marriage and totally faithful within marriage

Why not... With God all things are possible.  It is not easy going into marriage but I think the best part of life is being with the person you love for the rest of your life.  It is a good thing to see each other at the older age .. say like 70 to 75 years and still love each other.

do what makes you happy and fulfilled, you don't have to please anyone else or society anymore.  I am 39, never married & no kids and I prefer that over ever being divorced and putting kids through hell because of my own not so good choices.  I desire to be married someday, just not to the wrong one.  It's cool to be unique and different anyway.  Follow the road less traveled!!  & your heart!!

No but it all is depending on how much you love your partner. The marriage is not all about babies but understanding and making others life (your partner) more comfortable,

I think you need to listen to your heart and make a decision. Don't stay married if you aren't TRUELY happy, it isn't worth it. Take some time to just think without any outside distractions. :)

I think marriage is wonderful! It is absolutely amazing to me.  My husband and I will be married 5 years this July (Lord's willing) and it seems like we are still in the honeymoon phase.!!!\n\n\nI also think that if more people would incorporate what the Bible says about marriage into their life, that there would not be so many divorces.

If you observe upper middle-class marriages of 10 years or longer, you will probably still find five kinds of marriages: (1) Conflict-habituated which is a constant battle over almost everything. (2) Devitalized in which the partners have lost their love and "drifted apart," i.e. they take care of the children but they don't fight a lot. (3) Passive-congenial where the partners have been apathetic all along, e.g. marriage was a convenience--or economic necessity--or they are more interested in careers or friends than spouses. (4) Vital marriage in which being together and sharing are the major joys in life. (5) Total marriage is like the vital marriage, except almost everything is done happily together. Obviously, marriage ranges from wonderful happiness every day--only 15-20% are vital or total marriages--to miserable on-going fights (or divorce). This should offer some hope of happiness to those who are unhappy...but a warning to young people in an already rocky relationship
