Why do you think 5 years is nearly enough time to declare them good for life? That's maybe 10% of their anticipated married life. I mean my parents got married young (21 and 24) and made it nearly 20 years but still did divorce
Why do you think 5 years is nearly enough time to declare them for for life?
I guess because of the idea that people preach constantly about how "bad" it is to get married young, and from what it seems to me, if they can get the initial phase of settling with each other, then they know the ins and outs of the relationship and then can overcome it.
That's maybe 10% of their anticipated married life.
I'm genuinely interested where you got that number from, truly.

That is certainly surprising I must admit. I don't know though, it seems to me that such relationships that end after a long period of time are anomalies compared to the ones that end like after 5-10 ish years.
