I wanted to add this theory to your question. Little context. I am currently married to my second wife for thirty two years

This being the second marriage for both of us. I was previously married for fourteen years to my first wife.

Now my theory. Years ago it came to me that everyone that has considered marriage should get married
Probably not a big celebrate gala but more of a let’s see how it goes. A prenup of sorts can be drawn up that if it fails and last time I remember hearing any statistics it was in and around fifty fifty plus or minus. Not great I agree. So if both parties can be real about it they could come to agreement of each will take what they brought to the marriage money pets and sort
Out material things. I know that means the two parties would have to be adults about it and I know it sounds like a business deal because it sort of is. The one thing would not work if kids are involved. I think this should ideally take place early in life mid twenties and older. It would be an experiment of sorts. But one that enables you and your partner to find out earlier than later and learn from it.

My wife and I agreed a few
Years back that we are
Too old to get divorced lol. And both agree that we learned and applied that knowledge to our current marriage. Long winded way of saying I feel the benefits out way drawbacks and if lucky it works out you both can get on with life and it’s other opportunities careers,and other interest that you could focus on life goes by fast when having fun.and my only regret is not having those fourteen years I had with ex wife with my current wife. When you have more yesterdays than tomorrows you see through different lenses sorry about length and I hope this made sense lol have a great day everyone
