[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: a PP with the 6-times married mother - I can see if a parent had been married many times, each time unhappily, that you'd see marriage as maybe not the surefire way to happiness.  You could get pretty disillusioned if your mom had a constant stream of boyfriends and husbands while you were growing up.

also, not every unmarried person has issues or trouble sustaining a relationship - there is a lot of luck and timing in finding an ideal spouse.  (and some folks who married young or often are settling, and some people don't wish to do that.)[/quote]

I agree w/ the 1st part, but not the 2nd.  I do NOT believe there is such a thing as "an ideal spouse" and I do not believe its a matter of "luck."

Spouses are human.  By nature, they are all flawed.  Guess what?  So are you.  Deal with it.

Marrriages are also, by nature, "flawed" - but that is why most rational people agree that "marriages take work."  What else would you expect from the union of 2 imperfect humans?

I reject the fairy-tale notion of knights in shining armor and princesses.  But that's not to say marriages can't be wonderful, successful, happy partnerships; they just need to be seen in realistic terms.

Work > luck when it comes to healthy marriages.  [/quote]
