[quote=Anonymous]It’s not about the person, it’s about what you are marrying into. If all other things were equal, I would choose the partner with married parents over one with divorced parents.

I’m in my 40s and my parents and my husband’s parents have both been married 45+ years. My kids only have 4 grandparents. We didn’t have to worry about who to invite to our wedding. We don’t have to run around to 4+ gatherings on major holidays. It’s just less complicated.

Would you rather marry someone who grew up wealthy and earns a good salary OR someone who grew up poor but is now wealthy? It’s no one’s fault they grew up poor, but statistically the spouse who grew up wealthy or UMC probably comes with less family drama and an expectation of stability.

Money and married parents weren’t deal breakers for me while dating, but they certainly help. You don’t just marry your spouse. You marry their family take on their obligations to their family. I am an only child. I was very clear with my husband before marriage that he understood my obligations to them as fas as eldercare - and I would have understood if he said he didn’t want to take that on by marrying me.
