Sure it can! I feel the same way as you do, but my family members give me hope. My grandparents were married for 52 years until my grand father died 8 years ago. Never separated, never put their hands on each other, never yelled at each other, and never called each other bad names. They were best friends as well as husband and wife. They loved each other soooo much anybody could see it. I pray one day my future spouse and I can be like them. But we live in a disposible society. I know if anything worth having is worth the hard work. Some people dont like hard work.

1. Those couples aren't you. Just because a lot of people get divorces doesn't mean you have to. All it means is that you need to be careful in choosing a partner and be completely committed to making a marriage work.

2. Obviously you want to get married, or you wouldn't have added that last statement. Don't deprive yourself of a wonderful thing and end up regretting it just because a bunch of other people couldn't get it together.

I don't recommend marriage myself. These days there's not much to be gained from it other than being able to share health insurance. Actually that can be a pretty big deal depending on the circumstance.

Otherwise, definitely vote against it. I've done it twice. Better to have a girlfriend you can just walk out on when the time comes instead of having to fight in the courts.

Oh, and by all means, don't have kids. That's the absolute worst thing you can do.

actually i am 23 and getting married next year and what ive learned is yes love can last between to people but it takes more work than love to keep a steady commitment to that person...the more work you put in, the more value that person becomes to you. just dont rush, take your time and actually want to committ and when the bad gets tougher love harder and you both will appreciate each other. marriage is honorable and means you have a bond that noone can break )unless you let them) it is not about sex, health plans, & pensions, its about you knowing that you love that person for better or worse and want to love and spend the rest of your life with them and noone else!

Love CAN last, but there's so many problems these days. People don't want to commit..there's a whole list I could go on for hours. But if the right two people find each other, it will work.

Marriage is not all bad it depends on the person u marry, it should not be about lust but love and unconditonal love and offcourse u will have your ups and downs but 1 u have someone to complete you.2 they will love and honor the person u are no matter what

love still can last. But marriage is so old already. love can remain through A LOT. Trust me.

There is no reason to get married.
