Sixty percent of marriages in the United States end in divorce. So ask yourself, what is happening to the family? I found this statistic appalling. My parents got married at the age of sixteen, and twenty-one years later they are still together and very happy.

This is a prime example of a marriage that shouldn't have lasted, but it did. All I can say is marry for love and make it work.
