In my point of view, it is not a matter that you have to be together for years to know if he/she is a right person for you. It is how mature, emotionally and mentally prepared you are to take a lifetime journey with your half. A separation is not only about "irreconcilable differences" but a failure to compromise.

As people age they grow. If you are prepared to explore each other and support each other in that growth...you have a good chance of 'forever' and the delight of learning about each other every day. If you think the other person will never change and neither do you...it is either an illusion or you are stagnating. I know which I refer!

no, people change a lot, and if you are not flexible about specific moral variables and , you do not have to accept the others, but you have to show understandings to their point of views, if you could not do that, then most likely relationship is not gonna work out, no matter how long it might last.

A lot of people stay together out of habbit also because they would rather be with someone than no one and also out of fear of the unknown.

There are many reasons why people stay together and you cant always assume its cos they are in love still and want to spend every day for the rest of their lives together.

Speaking as a person who has more years behind them than in front, and who has the pleasure of knowing many couples who have lasted 40 years and more...........I have to applaud the ones who have made it. Not that they haven´t had adversity, and tests along the way, but that they came through shining and still enjoying each other´s company.

I don't think it takes years if you keep your eyes and mind open while you are getting to know that person and keep your heart out of it or at least don't let it make your decisions for you.

You are absolutely correct. Eventhough you are married, you would still reach the point asking yourself why you married this person and going through experiences is never ending.
When you are already mentally matured, you are also looking for someone who is already matured to take a journey a with you forever.

there are times when a failure to compromise is the right decision -for at least one of the parties - sometimes both
