Believe or not,people used to get married and stayed married no matter what..you just stayed married..and it worked..
Back before our society became so mobile, and people lived their whole lives in the same area, you knew you’d better find somebody good by the time you graduated high school, or you were going to be left out. You found someone “good enough”, got married, and you made it work.
I remember when I was in second grade, my Wife's cute face on the playground and in the hallways in elementary school when she was in first grade, the same grade as my younger brother. Her parents had the first Volkswagen Beetle in our rural community and I remember her mother parking it on the side of the road on the hill above the school.
Both of our families had moved away and each came back after we had finished High School, so it was almost kismet that we went on a "blind date" and married less than two months later. It's only fifty years now but we hope to make it more.

I’ve been thinking lately that that is one of our societies major problems. What you said is how it’s supposed to be. People aren’t supposed to stay single into their 20s or 30s, have sex and even kids with God knows how many people, and then move on. It just doesn’t work.
