Do you believe that marriage works?

It works for some people but there are a lot of unhappy marriages out there. It takes a lot of work that not everyone will do

I was married three times. One didn't work because of me, one didn't work because of him and one worked wonderfully because of both of us.

Picking the right partner and working at it is the trick.

So because your parents marriage doesn’t work, marriage for millions of other people doesn’t work?

It has worked for us for over 40 years, and the same is true of our good friends.

A marriage can only work with two independent people who CHOOSE to be together. As you state they are afraid to be alone. That is dependency and in those cases neither is happy theyhave rather settled.

Too many have been conditioned to be selfish in life. That is exactly contrary to what makes a marriage work. If both is unselfish and dedicated to the other (just like their vows stated), they will get joy in pleasing their partner and can have a long and happy life together.

Yes marriage can definitely work..I have been married for 23 years now!!

Yes if people but put it would

Nope.

My parents have been married for 62 years, so yes, I know it can.

With the joke that the West has made of marriage, you've got good call to think that way. Marriage does work when society doesn't poison it as it has
