My parents marriage was FAR from the Disney version, so I didn't have any idealized version of what marriage was supposed to be. From where I came from, I figured it was more like WWII. I went into marriage determined not to get my ears boxed, or get tossed from one room to the other. I was lucky and didn't duplicate my parents marriage ~ even tho my marriage wasn't a particularly happy one, it lasted 26 years before divorce. My 2nd marriage was closer to the Disney version but only lasted close to a year before he died of cancer.
Thanks for this!
