My parents met when they were 14/15 and have been together pretty much since then (they're now 60/61) and celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary last year. Lots of my friends comment on how rare that is these days and funnily enough, my brother and sister's in-Laws have been married a similar length of time or more!
From a personal perspective...... I think as a bloke "lust at first sight" is more appropriate. This happened to me in 2000 with a girl I worked with. Chased her like a man possessed (not literally) we got together in 2001, married in 2005, she started cheating on me in 2007 (well that's a conservative estimate) and we split up later that year. Hind sight is great..... we were friends to start with and I knew she'd had a somewhat chequred past when it came to cheating but (stupidly) thought she had/would change but obviously I was wrong.
Jump forward to 2010..... I'd been dating for a year or so but was beginning to think that the woman I was meant to be with was more elusive than a unicorn ridden by Lord Lucan!
I got introduced to a woman that had been sitting about 20ft away from me in the same office for about 6 months, if I said she hadn't caught my eye at all I'd be lying but I thought I'd be too old for her and she was out of my league. Again I was wrong (but glad I was wrong this time), we got engaged in 2011, married in 2012 and had our first child in 2014. Happier than a pig in sh*t
