[quote] I dated my ex for 5 years before we got married and it didn't last as long. Does that mean we dated too long? Or that we were the exception to the rule?[QUOTE/]
Is there any rules when it come to relationships?Either it work or it doesn't.
i don't believe like some people do to work through problems by going to counselling .

1) The divorce rate is much higher than it used to be because divorce is much more socially acceptable than it used to be. More people stayed married in the past because they felt they had to. That is true. How much that affects the statistics and how much rushing into marriage affects the statistics is unknowable; I don't believe there is a way to devise a study that can assess the proportional impact of both influences.

2) Some couple have met each other, dated briefly, and had long, happy marriages. Some couples have had protracted, beautiful courtships and then had the marriage go down in flames. It has more to do with the character of the two people involved than with the length of time spent on getting to know each other.

that's true still why the rush to get married.

3) Some people don't ask the important questions until after they get married. That's a problem no matter how long you date.
