You shouldn't have to survive marriage. If you are commitment phobic that just means that you haven't found a person that you want to spend the rest of your life with yet. When you find the person that is right for you just make sure that you have a lot of the same values in life. Make sure that you fully trust each other and have an idea of how you want to live. If you differ on some things that's okay and can be overcome but there are probably some things that you wouldn't change for the world and just make sure that the other person is willing to accept that. It's all about give and take!
Marriage is a scary venture. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do!!! I don't know if I've survived marriage successfully--it's had lots of bumps and bruises. I think in the beginning of the relationship things are usually very good. As time goes on, you start to worry about things like increased arguing, bouts of lack of trust, and in general just trying to get used to each other's habits.





You know what is a good lesson to learn? Your spouse loves you. I know that seems pretty simple, but if someone marries you, they love you. When you deal with all the drudgery of everyday life and you handle all the garbage that you need to handle, it's hard to lose the fact that there is love.
How do you survive life successfully?? you dont, you just live it and hope that the choices you make are the right ones.





to ';survive'; marriage its the same sort of thing, marry the person that fits you best. talk problems through and dont jump to conclusions, you are not at every time in your life or marraige going to be happy. marriage like life has alot of ups and downs, its a roller coaster ride you can only hope that your partner is there for this crazy life as well.
The biggest mistake people make with marriage is rushing in before they are ready. Make sure you choose the right person for oyu. You need someone that has had enough life experience that there not going to want to go out and run around on you or make stupid mistakes all the time to cause fights. You need chemistry and good communication. It also helps to have similar intrests and beliefs. I am not saying you have to like everything they do but you have to be able to sustain the relationsip for a long time without wanting someone else.
Marriage is not 50/50 like people say. It is 100/100. Both people have to be willing to give it 100% all of the time. It can be very hard, but it can also be so very easy. It is scary because you just never know what is going to happen. When you're ready you'll know it, and if you choose wisely and treat kindly you'll be just fine.
You don't look at is something you need to survive. Communication, laughter, sex, love, trust are all important.





You need to figure out why you are so scared. Marriage is not for everyone. It is okay if you don't want to get married.
Well get over your commitment phobia is a start. Having a phobia about commiting to a person is only going to make the marriage rocky and more than likely it won't survive.
You make it sound like you're on a desert island with one bottle of water and a wet book of matches.





Get real. It's up to you how it goes. If you can't communicate your likes and dislike and take control of your destiny then join a convent.
Communication. I am happily married, 18 years. Any time that my husband and I had any problems, it was because of lack of communications. Saying what you feel makes all the difference in the world.
You survive a car wreck or a bout with a disease.....lol. You have to be ready for marriage. It takes work on both sides. Communication is the big thing.
A wise man sees danger and hides himself, a fool rushes in.





I don't know, great question. so far I have not survived my marriage at all, I'm more like some kind of freaking ';disaster survivor';.





Be well.
You'll need a lifejacket, a swiss knife and basic survival training.
