made for life

[navi tasan]

Could 'they are made for life' mean made such that they will last a lifetime?

1) Don't worry about working hard with your hands. They were made for life. They will last as long as you do.
2) Their love is made for life. They will always be together.

Do those sentences make sense?

I think I heard 'made for life' in a standup comic act used in that way. But I might have misheard. The content is not appropriate for posting here.

Note my corrections above.
Yes, that's what it means.

Merriam Webster says "made for life" means having enough money that you can live well for the rest of your life.

Merriam Webster says "made for life" means having enough money that you can live well for the rest of your life.

British English would use "set for life" in that context.

They make sense but the underlined parts are unnecessary. In the first, I'd be inclined to say "They were made to last a lifetime".

I would say "set for life" also. As for the original question, I would say "made to last". (I don't think I've heard of "made for life" before.)
