Well perhaps I blow that theory. My Mum and Dad have been married for 56 years and they had only known each other for five months before they got married. There were occasional sticky patches in their marriage, as with most, but on the whole they have been happy and provided a solid, united front as an example to us three kids. However I ran a mile as soon as commitment loomed to the extent that I didn't get married until I was 38 and have now been married twice. My sister has also been married twice and my brother is about to marry for the second time. We couldn't have had a much better view of marriage when we were children, but we none of us managed to do tyhe same.

Love Lynne
