If there are no guarantees in life and everyone changes over time, then why fight it? Did you ever think that maybe relationships weren't meant to last for 50 years?
Sometimes I wonder if a married couple these days expecting kids , does it guarantee a long marriage? We obviously don't know the future. The problem with people these days who get married act so selfish among each other . Couples live almost like co existent marriages, the husband does what he wants and the wife does what she wants. So there is no guarantee it looks like even if the wife is pregnant that their marriage will last long. In fact it gets more expensive when you have kids..
No it doesn't at all
OF COURSE it's more expensive with having kids but personally I think there worth all the money in the world
I don't know what you mean about people being selfish when it comes to marriage?.

Raising kids can be a temporary distraction from marital problems. But it's only temporary.
You also need to ask: just because a marriage lasts, is it a good one? I know a couple like you describe; she does her thing, he opted for a career niche that takes him away from the family for long periods of time. She's not happy, but she did get to have the career and the kids she wanted, so it seems a compromise has been struck, though that was never discussed. But just because a marriage lasts doesn't mean it's a good one or that the couple is happy.

Exactly. How does anyone know a marriage will last. You can have you "communication with your spouse to make it work" till you are blue in the face. We don't know what happens in the future. The person can wake up one morning and all hell breaks loose. And like you said just because a marriage last doesn't mean it's a good one. People can stay in the marriage and live miserably. They do it for the sake of the kids or that the parents of the couple don't get a stroke and die from stress worrying about how their kids are living together. Always remember stuff happens, And many people today just married for the sake of being in the spotlight for the one big day party. And they live pretty sellfish
Nothing lasts things happen all. The time, can you predict that you live and will live the fairytale life??
Nobody lives a fairy tale life, because there's no such thing. Fairy tales, by their very nature, are fantasy. Anyone who bases their life on fiction is going to end up disappointed.

Well it seems many couples today base their marriage on fairytales. They say all is well but don't discuss their behind the door problems in public. Like I said they can stay in the marriage and be miserable but when out in public if someone asks them on the street how their marriage is they automatically put on that happy face and say that it is just peachy. They will never get detailed about the reality of their home life

You're not making any sense (yet again.) If a couple keeps their problems in private (as they should) it has nothing to do with basing anything on fairy tales. It's not the business of anyone on the street how a marriage is conducted.
