Can a marriage last forever?

Marriage is a tie between two hearts that should not be taken lightly. Two souls weaved together by vows of marital bliss. Even if you have dated this person for a good chunk of your life, people can still grow, change and have different opinions than they did years ago.

But like anything good in life, a marriage takes power from within you for it to last a life time. You can not just sit there and expect that the both of you will live happily ever after. It takes work and effort. Think of it like this, If you have been at your place of employment for a few years and your review is coming up. You would expect a salary raise right? Well you are not going to receive one if you slack off in the office. If either one of you slack off in your marriage, Your vow to eternitywill fizzle out. This is why these next steps are critical for you to read.

Never be afraid to tell your spouse how you really feel. If you are showing signs of sadness and they ask whats going on with you, do not say nothing. Even if you are scared to start a fight of you feel silly to tell them what is bothering you. Just simply tell them. If you always bottle up emotions, one day your cork will explode. And that could lead to the end of your marriage. So an open marriage is a happy marriage.

Laugh often with them. Try to show them the good in life and crack jokes with them. Life is to short to be serious all the time. Like the doctor says, laughter is the best medicine! You can even try to play fun tricks on them.

Act like you are newly Wed's. A little flirting never hurt anyone. I don't know a woman out there that wouldn't love to feel sexy and young. And some men start to feel like they are not wanted any more. Make your spouse feel loved. a smile can said a thousand words to them.

So yes I do believe a marriage can last forever. Work on your marriage no matter how big or small the problem might seem. Be honest with each other and obey your vows. Divorce rate is extremely high any more, not because they fell out of love with there spouse, but because they didn't work on it. I am sure that every couple would love to be considered the Cleaver's, and hopefully more married couples will strive to become a better family unit.
