There isn’t a gold standard for what a marriage ought to be. A good marriage, at any age, takes work and lots of “imagination over intelligence”. Thanks, Oscar Wilde, you saw through it so long ago.

Keeping your marriage happy and enduring needs patience and forgiveness. Still, marriage is worth all the hard work – if you’re not living with a jerk, that is. Surely an abusive relationship needs to be ended as quickly as possible. Marriage without love is not worth having.
