If you keep them relatively clean and well lubed you probably won't. Also, avoiding rain, snow and road salt helps a lot.
My "good" bikes never have any chain rust as they rarely get wet. My rain/beater bike does have occasional rust on the chain if I'm at all lax in drying and relubing it after a rainy ride.
