I don't understand why people say for the kids, because that's the worst reason to stay together. Kids pick up on this stuff, if they don't experience it firsthand. My parents would fight late into the night, and I heard every word. It was horrible.
I don't think people should put up a front. Life is way too short to pretend you care about someone when you really don't. |

Unless something bad happened, the love is always there - its just that you aren't so aware of it.
Its like if you work on a farm, you can't smell the manure anymore.
You just have to have faith that the love is there and stop seeking the butterflies that you have with new partners because they never last forever.
If the love is definately gone - the reasons to stay married might include fear of lonelyness, history together, children, money, lack of motivation to find someone new... |

Only reasons to get divorced in my book are...
one of you cheated
one of you beat the other one
one of you is verbally abusive
everything else can be worked out |

Yes. That's whats wrong with America today. People divorce before they even put up a fight. Let me ask you this: If your husband died in a tragic accident today, and you never saw him again, would you still ask the question? Be a woman and fight for your marriage. Don't be another statistic. |

Maybe you can't afford a divorce? |

For the feeling of security, and because divorces are expensive. |

1. Commitment to the other person. This is something that people today have no concept of. Relationships are all about "me" and not about the partner.
2. Children.
3. Morality. |

Because not being in love is the foundation of every marriage after 3+ years. |

Lover never really dies it fades. I am an old fashioned lady and believe that once married and there are children family is important so you make the most of things grin and bear it. It all turns out right in the end |

No, I don't think it would be fair to myself or the other person. You need happiness, and even though it's hard to bring it up and say it, in the end it will be worth it. Good luck! |

if you are asking this question you must still love your partner therefore try rekindling your love rather then giving up.
you don't know what you've got till its gone!..... |

i would try to get the love back and do everything i could to make it work. i don't want the should'ves, could'ves and would'ves. If it doesn't work after i feel i have exhausted all means, then i would leave. |

What is love? It isn't a mushy feeling. It is hanging in there through thick and thin and giving 100% ...even whyen you only receive 80%. I dont always feel "in love" with mine, but I'm not lead by my emotions. If I were I'd have more ex's than Elizabeth Taylor...lol |

Might as well ask me if I stopped eating would I stay alive.
This is an unfortunately common assumption people make when they ask this question: Love is not some static phenomenon that happens to two people. It is an active participation that requires patience, trust and commitment. Whatever happens just before this is infatuation, lust, attraction. Take your pick.
Love is when you decide to stay with that person.
It is a verb. |

In my experiences... You're not always 'in love' with your spouse. There will be times you've reached a 'lull' in the relationship. Be patient... it'll come back. Good luck |
