we met in a bar and dated for about 1 1/2 years. Married 25 years...3 kids all planned. (no accidents)
and I suspect we will be married a long long time. I would say that if we divorced the marriage would have been a failure since it's supposed to be for life as opposed to those hollywood types who put a hash mark on the ass for every time they marry. Obviously the Jens and Brads and all the rest of them have no clue what marriage means. It's a big commitment and requires a lot of thought and compromise although most of us don't think that hard about it. Then we get to learn the hard way.
We had our moments when we did the counseling thing for a while as well. But all worked out. Then again, we never ever said we would never ever divorce. We always knew that would be stupid. (not a big believer in absolutes) Would I do it again if we did divorce? Probably not. One lifetime commitment per lifetime is plenty.
bonsaiguy Reviewed by bonsaiguy on . For anyone who is married/divorced! How long were you together before you married? How long have you been/were you married? If divorced, would you still consider your marriage a success? This is for an essay I am writing for school. Thank you. :) Rating: 5
