HA...My mother was married 4 times (I only knew 3 of them, my father was the 2nd)...my husband’s parents were married near 60 years, and I think they hated each other more every year ...in other words...neither of us have had good role models...both of us had one divorce, and swore we would never do it again....and haven’t...but, it is NOT easy....it’s COMMITTMENT with some love and understanding thrown in. (30+ years here). I learned how NOT to do divorce from my parents .... and how NOT to parent also, altho I can’t say I was the greatest, but I was better than they were...
BUT, you are right...today’s culture has made marriage (especially non religious) a passing fad...something easy to get in and out of, with women getting the financial fruits in most cases. It is nasty out there, unfortunately, for those looking for marriage. I have merely tried to be a role model for my son...and he is a great Dad and husband....luckily. Doing that seems to be the best thing a parent can do.
Congratulations on your long marriage. It sounds like you raised a wonderful son.
