Marriage Is Like A Condom
Some waited to get married before they had sex and have a successful marriage. Some did not wait, and still have a successful marriage.
Some kept their marriage private, and have a successful marriage. Some kept it open and annoyed us with their public displays of unwanted affection, and still have a successful marriage.
Some dated for 2 years, and have a successful marriage, some dated for 2 months and have a successful marriage, some have been dating for too long like 10+ years and still have a successful not-marriage-relationship going!
Truth is that marriage is like a condom, one size does not always fit all and even when it manages to fit, sometimes it does not work.
