Most of them married not because they fell for anyone: romantic love is a modern concept.
Unrelated, but I know several couples happily married after meeting in high school and now raising grandkids together. It is possible. I also know (probably more) early marriages that disintegrated very fast. My first marriage did not last and it was to a man who I met when I was 14 and became sexually attracted to when I was 21.
