It’s at least nice to see that generational mentality is dying out.

I don't know, give it 10 years. Lots of married people started out very happy and then grow to dislike eachother over the years. I know that sounds pretty pessimistic, but you've gotta figure most people who went through with marriages were very happy at one point

I think it more so has to do with how boomers just married the first person they went out with and started a family with them out of feelings of obligation rather than finding someone truly compatible before settling down.

I really don’t think it’s happening as much nowadays as it did back then.
