Marriage expectations today are the complete opposite, IMO. Troubled couples I've seen expect soooo much from their partners that's its no suprise relationships break under the strain. Who the hell wants to be the 'be all/end all' for any other individual? There are umpteen books & articles about the lack of family/emotional support for young couples nowadays.
Want to know my predictor of a 'good' marriage? Its the ones where the partners are fond of each other, support each other, and are comfortable with each having interests and friends outside the marriage. Its healthy. The married couples I've known who don't show these traits have inevitably run into problems (which can be fixed, but it takes work).
