My father was married a whole bunch of times, we are talking more than a couple or even a few.

The only relationship that lasted was the last one who he did not marry.

She had a young daughter from a previous marriage that she needed a good home for and my father needed someone to take care of his house and him.

They both got what they needed from the relationship and it lasted 15 years till he passed.

Me personally, same boat as Soukus and same sentiment.
