That's a good question and a tough one at the same time. I grew up in a home where my parents were married at age 18 and still together until the day my dad died. Oh, they had their arguments but they also had their wonderful times together. And they loved each other immensely and taught my brothers and sisters about love and commitment. My sisters both married before they were 20 years old and I swore I would not get married until I had a chance to live on my own, away from home, and enjoy me
I got to do that but when Mr. Right walks up and smacks ya in the face, no matter how old you are, you take the "jump" which is what I did. My hubby came from a broken home - parents divorced when he was 9 months old, 2nd married ended in divorce in under 10 years, and 3rd marriage ended in under 10 years (both his mother and father have been married 3 times). He didn't know what it was like to live in a home with both his parents. So, our first couple of years together were "rocky" - he still felt he could go and do with the guys just like he always had, without calling me to let me know! After calling the cops to help look for him (he was a deputy sheriff where we lived) because he was supposed to be home at 9:30 and here it was 4:00 in the morning and no word from him (I had to be at work at 8:00 and I had NO sleep), he began calling me after that. I told him common courtesy dictates he pick up the freaking phone and call when he's gonna be late - otherwise, I expect the worst (considering his occupation at the time). We've still had our ups and downs but we are still together and can't imagine our lives without each other in it
But, as others have said, our relationship would not be a healthy one if we didn't "sprinkle" it with an argument every now and then. So, yes, I would marry him all over again knowing what I know - but there'd be some ground rules before hand written into the marriage vows
