[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why would you even get married in this situation. I am shocked by some of the marriages I read about here.[/quote]

I chalk some of this up to later marriages and the times we live in. I have been married for 37 years. We got married in our 20's (25 and 27) and neither of us had much (husband was still in school getting a PhD). Our first real estate purchase was 5 years into our marriage and all on our jointly saved money. This was very common at the time. Of course people didn't have much in student loans back then either. I had a small one and my husband had none. We never used credit cards. Credit cards were not as available and our parents had never used them so it was just not a typical thing like it is now. Computers were not around to track everything.

Things have changed a lot. I worked with a young woman and she talked about bachelor/bachelorette parties in resort locations around the world. We never had such parties. She and her future husband bought a house before they even married. The wedding was very upscale (ours was not). Now everyone puts up all their plans/parties/homes/etc. online and everyone can see everything. She even compared her husband's friends to hers in terms of money (and hers came up "higher"). In short, I am not shocked that some of these marriages do not work out. [/quote]
