I did not realize that young marriage had such a high failure rate, but it does make sense. But 100 or more years ago, people seemed to marry at such a young age. Guys would sometimes have to marry more than once because of the higher mortality rate women experienced giving birth.
My cousin, who is 1 year older than me, got pregnant when she was 15 and went to Nevada to get married. She is still married to the same guy and is now a Grandma. I have also since heard that 2 other cousins who married young experienced affairs, but their marriages survived.
Donna, there is nothing peculiar with being fiercly loyal, unconditionally loving and naive. It was the norm at one time. Unfortunately, it is rare in this age.
