You writing rubbish yet again ?. I mentioned highjacking on the thread which i started but which seems to have vanished from the list ,not this thread. I think you have your threads mixed up ,not surprising as you are busy trying to control them all at once :).
Isn`t this thread about "marriage for life"? what`s that got to do with chatting on another chatsite anyway ?.
Come on, don’t ignore this forum just because yet again you’ve been shown to be wrong. An apology will suffice.

Do you believe in marriage for life?​


This is the thread Topic ,

Can we at least try ,


And of course Marriage is for life unless you get divorced then not so much ,

Peoples lives change , nothing can be certain "for Life"

But the intention i believe is there.

To be fair, the original question and poll is a bit daft. In real life does anyone know an individual that would prefer 5 marriages ( and 5 divorces) that would last 7 years? It's only one level up from the poll asking from someone do you prefer food or sleep lol

It`s "thread " not "Forum" . An apology will suffice but as it`s impossible to drag one from you ,ever, then i`ll keep dreaming .

About this thread : if you go to the trouble and expense of a wedding today and the vows say" until death us do part" then the marriage is for life.

I started this thread in response to the "Do you believe in love at first sight?" thread, and because it reminded me of something John Cleese once said in an interview about his marriages. He said . . he'd rather have 5 marriages lasting 7 years than one that lasted 35 years. It's something I completely agree with. When my first marriage ended I thought it was the end of the world, I struggled to carry on. Now, when I look back at my life, thinking of all the lovely partners that have come and gone, the different experiences, the beautiful memories. Do I now wish I was still with my first spouse? no way! :)

Unfortunately when you're dealing with human nature, the question transcends ethics or beliefs.
It would be wonderful to meet the right person, fall into an abyss of utopic chemistry and skip hand in hand towards a rainbow. But when you arrive home unexpectedly to find your partners feet in the air with an unidentified hairy bum going like a jack hammer, you question claims of commitment and trust.

And the bugger didn't even take his shoes off.

What if she doesn’t have a hairy bum?

Not really a reply to you personally but have any of you who have married several times think that you just fell into a habit ?. If all of your husbandswives died then i understand but i sort of doubt if that`s the case. After falling in love with one and then for whatever reason falling out of love ,why go through the same process all over ?. This goes deeper than just " Love at first sight " ,it`s more ;like a death wish !.
How many partners are you "sworn” to "for better for worse ,until death us do part "?.

However, if I see someone who has obviously not taken care of themselves, regardless of looks or age, then it is a signal that perhaps they would not be interesting to communicate with.
I think that's a bit harsh. You may be judging someone who can't afford new clothes, struggles to pay the bills, needs to use food banks as shopping is too expensive, or perhaps they're experiencing one of the worst times in their lives. Perhaps a loved one who meant so much to them has just passed, and they've basically given up. So i think it's important not to judge others based on first impression, and treat them with kindness and compassion instead.

Like many other contributors, predominantly male, I don't that think marriage is at all necessary.
Hell2bwith76 mentioned that there could be a pathological reason to remarry several times, apart from the proverbial 'love of wedding cake', that is.
I am more concerned about those, of both sexes, who feel the need to remarry because they fear that they will spend the rest of their lives lonely/alone.
It smacks of TRUE pathos to me, as does getting married in the first place.
:rolleyes:

No doubt that the theory of Marriage was invented by some religion in our distant past for a number of reasons. It would be really interesting to find out the first signs of Marriage ,as we think of it today. Are there any Societies anywhere in the World who still don`t have Marriage ?

I appreciate that people who have been married for a very long time do have something very special. I'm on my second marriage and occasionally compare it to my first. I have no idea If I'll ever marry again, but for me, it is nice experiencing married life with different partners.
The longest day
