It is getting harder and harder to believe, but I'm hopeful that that one person is out there...somewhere. :-)
-
Yes, and it's not because I'm always lovable either. I'm dedicated to this relationship and deeply love my family. (That means I'd die for them) I'm sure my wife knows this and this gives her the ability to put up with my quirks. It goes the other way around too. Plus logically, I'm too old and tired to train someone new to put up with me. She's stuck with me.
-
no i dont believe it. i have just come out of a 10 yr relationship and i thought it would be forever. how stupid can i be............
-
I believe it's possible they may if they are able to accept adapt and change alongside of you and keep the togetherness happening :)
-
My family will love me forever and ever!! And I might find someone to love me that long!! But I kind of tend to chase them away!
-
I hope so. I found someone just like that. Never felt so loved my whole life til I met her. Unfortunately she is gone now.
-
Yes. We've been married 8 years and still going strong.
-
Yes I think so. The divorce rate doesnt scare me at all, people just need to make sure they marry the right person and that they would have to compensate some stuff to make it work forever.

My sister & I were discussing this & we think that no man could ever give us the love our grandfather did. He gave us such a sense of security that we were never afraid. It's sad but when he died in 99 so did my feeling of feeling safe. As for husbands & wives, I think that people can love each other forever but not like theu used to
-
The more time that passes, the more that kind of thought fades away in my life.
-
Lets just say im not getting my hopes up.Ive never been married but the longer i wait and see what happens with my friends getting divorced than i may just say forget it.lol.
-
Yes. What I don't believe is that someone will love me forever and ever no matter how I treat that person. I will not love someone forever and ever no matter how that person treats me, either.
-
I have to believe it. Without the promise of true love what do we have to hope for?
-
I still believe in fairy tales and happily ever after.
-
After getting divorced, I thought I would get re-married. Things didn't work out, much bad luck for both of us. The older I get, the less I believe in love that last for a lifetime.
-
I really hope so. Been that path once. Don't want to repeat some of those mistakes.

Well I left a LONG relationship as he turned out to be abusive, a drug addict and just didn't care. However, I KNOW I can love someone forever as I understand that they will not be the only person I may be attacted to but love is more than attraction. They will not be the only person that makes me laugh, etc. etc. However, they can be "the one" that I will nurture, care for, help any way I can, laugh with, love with (in every way), I believe, I know I can as long as I am treated right. I know what I want and I can communicate this. However, the flip side? I don't think there are many out there that can, without doubt or hesitation, state this. It takes patience, acceptance, and steadfast in who you are rather than looking at the rest of the world. Are there many out there that can keep the flames of passion, the friendship and companionship, the togetherness that can create happiness? Is this a fairtale - I wish I knew because I don't believe in unicorns so..if it is not real. I wish I knew.
-
I think it's possible.
-
Yes, our love has grown stronger and deeper over the years. We love each other more today than our wedding day 12 years ago, and still passionately! Mostly warm embers to keep warm in the night, but blow in the right spot and look out. The key to it is communication and work. Love for a lifetime is magic, but it's also something you work on together and build.
-
yup, my parents will always love me. lol
-
Not necessarily. I've seen too many cases where it fades over time. People change. Divorce happens and always will.
-
I believe that. I think people need to be much more careful of who they are getting involved with and there would be less of a divorce problem.
-
At times there are problems but true love will survive any climate.If you love someone to the highest level then the whole universe will help you in your love.
-
Yes. I believe that the increase in divorce rates are for two main reasons. One reason is that people that are in unloving, damaging, unhealthy and abusive marriages now have the choice to get out of them as the taboo of divorce isn't as prevalent in todays society. i.e. that's a good thing. The other main reason is that people think with their guts too much and treat marriage as a consumer good that when it is broken or not so shiny, rather than spruce it up a bit it or try to repair it they just chuck it out and go for a new one. i.e. that is wasteful, squandering behaviour. True lifelong love can exist and it does exist but only if people stop being so selfish and intolerant and accept how to truly love, trust and be loyal, be intimate, respect, tolerate and appreciate people for who they are.

I think its possible to find someone that will be yours forever. people are just getting lazy and not looking as hard as they use to.
