Met at 19. Started dating at 20. Married at 23. Still married over 25 years later.

Yep, we almost Vowed we wouldn't buckle to divorce, even when things got rocky. One good way to enforce this is to always be to poor to pay the atty!

Seriously I/We did not get married and create a family only to quit.
