One week after graduation, you and Sam packed up his car with some clothes, sandwiches and an atlas. You alternated driving, belted out road songs and made up stories about people in the cars around you. It was perfect.
You were driving through a small town and came upon your first drive-through chapel. You laughed as you approached. It was really happening.
This was the first out of seven little chapels of bliss that you frequented on your trip. If one didn't make it official, seven did. You could count it on both hands.
When you returned home, you and Sam collapsed in the doorway, exhausted. You looked at the photos. Who could say they had seven different weddings? Well, with the expediency of your marriage, it could end just as fast. At least enjoy it now. |
Researchers would have you believe that you will divorce, on average, at 35 years of age. That's plenty of time to begin and end a relationship, right? Why stay together? There are so many people to meet, why limit yourself? |
