If you're fighting for a cause that is extremely important, and your spouse thinks she is more important, you have to decide what is more important to you. Sometimes, people have the tendency to get in the way, or your priorities deviate. However, if the two of you become really good friends, and there is something beyond the attraction. A mental connection, a desire to fight for each other, defend each other, loyalty, forgiveness, then I believe it will last. Look at Bill and Hillary Clinton, they stuck it out despite everything. That, is love right there. That is an example of true love and commitment that everyone should have. People make mistakes, you have to be understanding of that. Plus, the girl or guy shouldn't be crazy. At least not with each other. Nelson Mandella was a great man, he stood for something. Everyone gets married, but very few men dedicate their lives to an ideal. In my book, Mandella stands among the great kings of humanity. His wife was a nobody. What did she do? Pop out a few babies, and then run when things got tough? Also, there are a lot of bad apples out there, some people cant see it until it is too late. If you are truly partners with both people contributing their best and respecting and loving each other then it isn't that hard. We just had our 3 year anniversary and we're going strong, even with two infants. The reason it is hard for so many is for most people it's a lopsided partnership or even in some cases enslavement of one by the other. You both need to get off your butts, you both need to be careful with income and spending, etc. And whether or not you divide household roles traditionally based on gender stereotypes or split them evenly you need to both demonstrate every day that you are living up to your responsibilities and can recognize that your partner is doing the same. 0

Welcome to CreateDebate
CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy. If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
- Arguments with the highest score are displayed first. Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument. To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
- To vote for an argument, use these icons: You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument. Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change. Yes, you can change your vote.
- Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account. All scores are updated in real-time. To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
- When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument. If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
