Im awesome & that pisses you off

no i dont. i think if you have a stong relationship to start with then you shouldnt think your marrigae will be doomed. the ones who dont work out, i think are ones who never really had a relatioship to begin with and got married because they were together for so long, or ones who get married for the wrong reasons, like if they had a child together. if you go into it with the right attitude, then there should be nothing to worry about. just be honest with your partner and have open communication. ive been married almost a year and we dated for 7 years before that. i wouldnt change a thing. im glad i married who i did and know we'll be happy for the rest of our lives. (and no im not still in the honeymoon stage. we actually have a strong relationship that was there before we got married) if you have doubts, then dont get married. |

No and No because you just need to learn to communicate well with each other about everything and you won't have any problems...marriage is great once you learn to communicate properly |

Marriages are ruined by the people who get married that are not ready, they don't have good relationship skills, they are immature, or they are children of separated parents who are passing down their legacy. |

Absolutely no regrets. I have 4 beautiful children from my first marriage. So even in defeat we find success. Life's to short for regrets, just live and learn. |

People doom marriages; Marriages do not doom themselves.
Going into a marriage with reasonable expectations of one another, trust and an attitude of partnership, not ownership is a good start. |

Marriages will last as long as the love, trust, and commitment that got the people together remains. This is hard work.
I am extremely happily married for 13 years. No regrets. |

Marriages aren't doomed unless you want them to be. It is something that you both really need to work at. Marriage also has it ups and downs and you need to mentally and physically put up with them. I don't regret getting married. I have been married for 26 years and have two lovely daughters. I would prefer my husband was more outgoing but he is a good provider and takes good care of us and loves our children. |

No, marriages are not doomed at all. You need to make sure you marry for the right reasons, at the right time in your life and you need to find the right person. You also need to remember that marriage isn't always easy and takes compromise. You will definitely find out things about your husband that you don't like, and you need to be willing to accept him for who he is, the good and the bad. I'm happy that I'm married and I couldn't imagine my life without my husband. He's my lover and my best friend. |

No, I don't think marriages have to be doomed. I am happily married and have no regrets at all. People just need to concentrate on their marriage and their partner and make it their first priority. If you get to know the person first and accept each other for who you are, have a good open line of communication and work as a team, marriage can be awesome. People just need to really think about the committment before they get married. If they're not ready to commit to that one person then they should stay single. Too many people rush into marriage and then are sorry afterwards. |

I have been married for ten years to a military man. We have spent alot of our marriage geographically separated due to the military. We have survived being apart, infidelity on both of our parts, financial problems and I'm sure theres more big ones. Marriage is work and lots of hard work. And no marriage is perfect. I do not regret getting married. I regret cheating as does my husband. If you live your life seeking the perfect partner, life and marriage, you will grow old, a very lonely person, as perfection does not exist. |

Personally I do not think they are doomed. A marriage is sort of like a relationship ~ you have to continually ~ repeat ~ continually ~ work at it for it to work and for a couple to remain together "until death do us part". It is so easy for people to get a divorce, and so many people enter into marriages with the thought of "oh well, if it does not work, they I will get a divorce". No wonder so many do not work! I have been married - do not regret it - will be married again one day hopefully, and take the lessons I learned (the good ones) and apply them to ensure I have a successful marriage. |

i feel like i am the luckiest person in the world & i have the greatest husband ever. i don't think i will ever regret getting married. but the answer to your first question is "YES" if you do not get married for the right reasons & if you don't have trust & great communication in your marriage. |

Marriages are no more "doomed" nowadays than they ever were. I think that there may be a lot more young people that are just way too narcissistic and self-centered than before, but I could be wrong.
The basic reason that ANY relationship falls apart is that one or both of the people involved are not emotionally mature enough; they lack compromise and forgiveness. They don't know how to work out problems large or small. They don't understand what comittment and teamwork really mean in life. They bail out at the first sign of trouble instead of having the courage to work it out.
Do I regret getting married? After 36 happy years, I certainly do not.
We got married "relatively" young; 21 and 20, but we had been together for a while and verified that both of us had what it took to make a relationship work. |

I regret marrying the person that I did. Had I known that his family placed such little value on marriage I would have thought twice and looked for someone who came from a more traditional family. We wouldn't be on our way to divorce court now.
Marriage and kids I like. |

Not in my opinion, you see I told everybody when I was in The 8th grade who I was going to marry, it took until I was a junior in high school before we got together, I have been married for 16 years and there hasn't been any regrets, You have to know in your heart I knew very early, I am still in love with him this very day. |

Married person here (standing at attention)-
Q: Are marriages really doomed nowadays?
No, because Jesus said folks would be getting married until the day he came back. (found in the gospels).
Do you regret getting married?
No, because my sweetie is the most important person in the world to me, and I wouldn't trade her for anyone, or anything!
Why or why not?
As a 25-year veteran of marriage, I think the main reason people don't stay together is- 1) They don't really choose the person based on compatibility and character, and 2) SIN!-On one or both parties part (usually both). It takes Jesus in the center of the triangle to make a TRUE marriage relationship. |

No to both - I'm happy in my marriage. |

It depends on why you got married. Is it to just say I am married for the fact of being married. I think alot of people get married and they do not even love each other. I had a friend that could not wait to get a ring after dating two months. I think alot of them just rush into it. I do not regret getting married I was happy for 10 years until he died. I loved him with all my heart and he will always be there. |
