Oh and if your wondering I just decided to remove the question after all there is not much I can do about it except just be a friend, mostly b/c any advice i give would not be very positive and I'm sure I'd get the respose of "you just don't understand."

Lux, I'm sorry but you must have viewed the thread after I took the origional question down, it originated with me wanting to know of anyone that knew of any couples that had actually worked out, where it was the first serious relationship for one of the people involved. Basically one of my friends is getting married to the first guy she has ever had any type of relationship with and I'm a bit worried for her. So I was looking for a little "faith" b/c I don't know anyone that it has ever worked for...In fact everyone I know that got married to their first "serious" person divorced them.

My Mom never dated anyone seriously before my Dad, and they have been happily married for over thirty years now.
