With all the different religions, backrounds, countries and heritages, I wanted to hear all of your thoughts on if you believed marriage was for forever or not.
I personally believe marriage is meant to be for as long as it can be, but I also believe that people should not have to stay within an abusive marriage, or when they are widowed, they should not be able to remarry.

The concept of "marriage" is so different in different cultures that I wouldn't dare to speak about that not in the context of religion and culture. What I am sure of is that people's feelings are the same worldwide, "love" felt by an Indian and a Mexican is to be of the same nature, but it is culture and person's world vision that directs that feeling to a certain "riverbed": marriage, civil marriage, just a couple-day romance...
If a spouse abuses his/her spouse, that is an "unhappy" marriage, which proves that some people do not understand the true meaning of marriage - the decision to solve the problem of highest difficulty level: to create a family!
Need a formula of a happy marriage? It's simple: you MUST not only 'love' a person, you should also KNOW THAT YOU LOVE, and find all the pluses/advantages/merits in the person and start paying attention only to them! And learn to forgive, it's not only to God to forgive, you know...

Yes, I agree with all you have stated above. And the cultures and contexts are many, one reason I choose this topic is I felt it would be interesting to learn from other cultural views and contexts. Thanks for sharing,
