"To say such couples are few and far between is an understatement. Like it or not most people act as that woman and that general do. I need not comment on the behaviors of women my age."

Actuallly, they are not "few and far between." Look around you. You'll find couples who have been married for 10,20,25,50 and even more years everywhere. While it is true that 50% of marriages end in divorce, that means that 50% do not.

ur positing that just because a couple has been together for x # of years they're "happy.' I've come across a number of loveless marriages which stay put due to making sure the kids have a stale household. While laudable I wouldn't wish that sort of situation on my worst enemy.
