Marriages don't work because both parties do not work at it.
Unfortunately, marriage is also the only not-born-into relationship
that is binding. Also, in terms of proximity to another human
being, it is the closest and is suppose to last the longest. Hence
the propensity for problems to appear is greater than any other
relationship on this planet.
The desire to work on any relationship has to be understood by all
parties concern. The cliche saying: it takes two hands to clap is
very true.
The titles of those books? Never read them. We may consider that
the books were written for people who may either already have
problems or may wish to learn to prevent problems from
happening.
28 yrs is not young but neither is it old. I'd suggest keeping your
options open. I have a close relative who has given up on marriage
till this person met the right one at the ripe old age of 38.
Yup, I have a good companion, we don't always see eye to eye, we do
argue about all sorts of things, we also try very had to be mature
about the arguments. Right now, she's cooking up a storm in the
kitchen..... yummy.
