Senior citizens: Is it true relationships with the opposite sex don't work out in your 20's? If so why?

[Leroy]

It could be said that the reasons for marrying too young are not conducive to long marriages or the partners are still immature. Over 50% of young marriages end up in divorce. Many of the younger set seem to understand this now and elect to "shack up" together for a few years to see how well they get along and while I was against this years ago, I can see the wisdom in this arraignment now. My first marriage lasted 18 years but we only stayed together that long because of the kids. My second has lasted over 39 but we haven't lived together for the past 4 years, an arraignment that has saved us from divorce. We live near and see one another just about every day and now get along just fine. I guess, no matter what the age, it's a case of different strokes for different folks.
