You are so right — marriages don't have to last "till death do us part" to be meaningful and fulfilling, which is what Susan Pease Gadoua and I address in our soon-to-be released book, "The New I Do: Reshaping Marriage for Cynics, Commitaphobes and Connubial DIYers," which offers new marital models. We marry with the best of intentions, and then stuff happens — we shouldn't feel that we've failed.
We are free to create the marriages we want (and that includes not lasting forever), as well as the life and relationships we want post-divorce (Married, living together or something like that « OMG Chronicles).

"She confided in me that she was still madly in love with Gregory and that every time he walked into the room, her heart still skipped a beat. Right then and there I thought, "That's the kind of love I want to have!"
That's the kind of love you're virtually guaranteed NOT to have. Those emotions wax and wane with time. It is simply not realistic to expect another human being to keep you in a continuous state of high sexual tension. If that is the expectation, then certainly it is better not to marry and risk damaging the life of someone who perhaps IS prepared for mature, solid commitment...not to mention the children who may come along and need a firmer foundation for their lives than just their parents' ebbing and flowing emotions.
