A while ago -- gosh, now that I look it was over a year ago -- I posted a reflection on how sometimes (maybe even often) you can see problems at the beginning of a relationship which doom it in the end. But then after seeing them you go ahead anyway: get married, move in together, whatever it is. In retrospect you wonder, "My God how is this possible?" And yet it seems to happen.
I don't have any more special insights on this question than I did a year ago, but I saw today that somebody at the Huffington Post wrote about the exact same issue, here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-gauvain/doubts-before-marriage_b_919868.html
Just for what it is worth ....
