Life is tough- finances, work, stress, kids, post birth depression, menopause, mid life crisis, and being human throw in a few "cock ups" to boot.
Amazing that humans are able to stick it out in marriage in the percentages and length that some do.
Most important thing I feel is finding a partner who has some wisdom, empathy and a sense of humor. Because as sure as death and taxes all 3 will need to be drawn on to make the marriage survive
And even though marriage is hard work, it is rewarding and worth it- I feel sorry for those who live like a tortoise going into their shell and not prepared to take the risk of living with another human and decide to live perpetually in self isolation.
