I have a number of cousins who ended up marrying their high school sweethearts. Interestingly, they've got what seem to be from the outside, the strongest and most honest marriages. I've spent some time thinking about this, and I've wondered if it is the fact that they've basically become grown ups together and all the things they did wrong in their youth, they did together, so there's never any nasty skeletons in the closet.
I think it's lovely for them. On the other hand, I often wonder how they've made it through life having only ever been with the one partner. coming from a floozy like me, it's hard to grasp.
