Question - (4 August 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 4 August 2010)
A female United States age 26-29, *€9@/\/ writes:

I know that I'm a little too young to be thinking about this but I have collected an opinion! Marriage. If you have read some of my other posts you would know how I fell head over heels for this one guy that I met! Before I met him I had planned to NEVER get married! All of the relationships I have ever been around have been horiffic!! My parents have cheated on each other MANY of times and are still together! And it's not just them, NOBODY I have actually met in person is in a happy or undivorced relationship with their partner! Well if I do end up marrying does it ruin your life?

I know at one point that my parents loved each other because when my dad was I he navy they would write back and forth to each other! You could see that they were perfect for each other! But now they hate each other but won't get a divorce! Every night they argue! I'm just scared that if I do end up marrying sombody when I'm older that we will start off strong and eventualy end up hating each other like the so many people I have seen married!

So my question is "is marriage somthing that could actually last or does it just make you miserable when you get older and deeper in the relationship?"

p.s.... My parents have been married for almost 26 years now!!!

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (4 August 2010):

Your parents marriage is worthless, because neither will actually stop cheating and just make a decision about whether they want to be married. There is no effort from either side to better the marriage, and though you say they're perfect, they're clearly not (I know that hurts). The point is, when you get married you have to put effort into it. You can't just marry and expect it all to work out like some fairytale. You have got to communicate, you've got to be ready for marriage, you've got to be marrying for the right reasons. Your parents have screwed their marriage up because they haven't been putting effort in where it needed it. Instead they both just cheated. Marry for the right reasons, and when you do marry put effort in.
