28 years no problem, it can happen easy. But it seems the odds are low. Folks will lose multi decade friends in there 50-60-70’s you won’t see that comming either but it will. So what do you want gaurentees?

Will be celebrating 10 years this summer. I waited until I was 46 to get married and glad I did. I feel it’s a much safer experiment if neither one of you have been married and especially without children from previous marriage. But that’s not the world we live in these days with the divorce rate so high. My wife had two little girls from her previous marriage and the situation was messy. If I hadn’t been acquainted with her previously it might’ve been too risky. But we’ve pressed through and added two more children to our tribe and doing ok, the ex is still an idiot but we work hard to mitigate the effects upon our household. Blended families provide the greatest challenge of all.

My 2cents, the majority of the time these gals will give them selves away and you should know what to expect long before you go ring shopping. Don’t ignore the flags. Marriage is truly a one time event, stay sober minded and get it right the first time.

Relationships are the one thing people rarely educate themselves on before they proceed.

If dating were a quiz and marriage was the test then everyone would fail the class miserably.

Nearly all dating scenarios fail and the one that makes it into marriage the majority also fail.

I think 1) Before taking the quiz, thorough education on the subject is required 2) Realize the subjectively humans are horrible at choosing a mate due to emotions.

Therefore after step 1 its best to have someone who knows both sides choose who best to have a relationship with and marry.
