Having been married for 4.5 years and subsequently divorced (both my parents and my ex-in laws were married for 30+ and still together), I’m convinced that it’s selfishness that causes most marriages to go south. Avoid it, and things work out well.
Given Salvation's response, I am guessing she read "45" instead of "4.5" ;-)

I'm with you, Old_Mil! My marriage lasted 14 years but fell apart when my husband, who set stringent requirements for adopting a child (white, half Italian/half American and free), changed his mind when that child was entrusted to us with her birth grandmother's tears streaming down her face. He set those conditions never expecting it would happen. God, in His great mercy, heeded my prayer. I have raised her alone.
