You'll succeed if at least one partner is 100% unselfish all of the time. There's no such thing as fifty-fifty. It all shifts around over the years. Sometimes it's even at fifty-fifty for fifty minutes or so! But selfishness is what breaks up marriages.

I happen to favor young marriages. I think the shopping around in the twenties makes for harder hearts and silly expectations. If someone has slept around, I believe they are more likely to continue to do so when married. Behaviors get set in cement as we get older. As for the changes that take place, they'll still rear up in the thirties, forties, and fifties.

thats what I think.

I think people mess up with they start thinking in terms of "I" instead of "US".

Hmmm, I think losing trust is worse for a marriage than selfishness.
