In my view, marriage is lifelong cause that is what most vows say. You make a contract with your partner that day that you will stick it out and be together until nature rips you apart.
Some choose to alter this and do as abaya said, and change the wording. I think this is necessary if that is your stance. It is like a business partnership you are entering into here, and you normally have a ton of witnesses to the terms of this. So if you don't believe in forever, then make that clear from the get go.
Divorce is frowned upon due to this breach of contract (to me at least), and I think it should be.

On to love. Love is a silly word. It is the most loaded word I know. Will I always feel in love with my wife? Heck, no! She pisses me off sometimes, and for an extended period of time. So the 'in love' phase ebbs and flows, and I hope it always keeps coming back.
The kind of Love I entered my marriage to strive towards was the sort of love that looks to entwine my wife and I into a single functioning unit, each with unique personalities and goals and whatnot, but each pushing to bettering our life as a couple, a unit.
This is my view on it.
