Cmv: i believe that married people in my grandparents generation didn't really love each other.:
All of my grandparents were born somewhere from the late 1920's to the end of the 1930's and according to most of what I've heard marriage was just "something they did". Society, for whatever reason, just expected them too get married young and have loads of children. According to most of what I've been told, people were married at the latest by their mid-20's and even that was considered late. Divorce at this time was unheard of, so if your partner changed, (as most people do) then you were just kind of stuck with someone you didn't like. I don't believe that someone is cognitively ready to make a lifelong decision at that age and most people of this time period got married to pacify their parents, society, whatever in an outdated social institution that was just left over from the middle ages. I know it sounds really grim so CMV?
