Marriage is an eye opener. A mirror that shows you your faults.

Before marriage, you feel you are perfect. And can do no wrong. Sigh. A humbling experience

After 57 years of marriage to the girl I fell in love with when I was 15, she was 17, married 4 years later, I will say this. Neither of us was perfect, both could hurt the other. Marriage is hard work but commitment to that marriage makes the hard work pay wonderful dividends.

@Baremine you tied the knot too early without knowing what purpose marriage serves. If you were free you two could have found better alternatives. Life should not be hardwork but an enjoyable journey. As they say So you sow so you reap you are claiming your reap as dividend.

@in10RjFox When Life is a hardwork, it is actually a blessing in disguise. Though he married too early yet he didn’t fail.

@in10RjFox I totally disagree with everything you said. I went with several girls and none compared to the one I married. Hard work is enjoyable whither it be in marriage or a job. The "reap" certainly isn't divided. Life involves heartache and wonderful times. Don't see where you are coming from at all. We have had a wonderful life.

@Fertilization what is failing or passing in life ? Those who don't marry are failures? Or are those who divorce are failures?

Or is it that those who pass time because time passes on its own, are considered not failures ?

You went with several girls between 15 & 19 and married the one at 19 , when she was 21 .. 😀😀

But what is marriage and why did you marry?
I see that you just married because everyone one else married.

@in10RjFox wrong again. I was probably one of the first in my group to marry and one of the few that only married once. In all due respect you aren't as smart as you think you are.

@in10RjFox I can understand your rants. But I am loving the fact that he didnt fail to keep his vows.

@in10RjFox a divorce is also referred to as a failed marriage.
My wife was Almighty God's answer to a 15 year old boys prayer.

@Baremine I don't see where he's comming from either. Kind of a weird take.

@Baremine 😀😀😀 but you still can't answer why you married or what is marriage.. and why did you have to marry so early in life?
(even after so many years of marriage.. )

Just because you did something why do you think others should do it ?

Just because it worked for you, why do you think it would work for others?

Divorce is failed marriage.. yes, but successful life .. as there are many with succesful marriage but failed life.

You just need to apply your brains .. he is still a kiddo even after 60 years of marriage. Being born between 1940-50, life was quite different then. So he is not matured enough to comment about marriage. He won't even be able to answer why people marry or what purpose marriage serves.

@in10RjFox He already answered, you are not getting it.
