its most important that you are focused on similar goals ,,i think..
my first wife was a sweet country girl of 18,,i was a little rough around the edges my self..
okay i was dumb as dirt..
30 yrs later she had become somewhat of a keep up with the jones person ...i was a man who thought the keep up with the jones crowd were just not anything but funny sometimes..so without effort an prayer
any marriage can come apart if you just both going in different directions...she ask for a few weeks separation one night due to my not being willing to sign on for another lrg 30 yr.mortgage payment,at 57 yrs old..... i had been trying to get us to counseling,,but she said things would get said ,,that couldn t be taken back ..but id never have ask her to separate.... so she left and i ask the kids to hang close to her,,
as she was talking scary stuff..meantime i went thru hell for mabe 8 months or more..
i ll always love her even tho ive remarried... she will always be the sweetest mother an lover a man could hope for...but my vows are to another great lady now,,an this is one of the few times ,ive allowed my self
to remember,,or let it be on my mind...my vows with my wife now don t allow me to think about this any longer... good luck dale... slim
PS as you all know theres two sides to every story,,especially the ones of this nature... i don t kid myself about that..
