Sure. Marriages can last with nothing in common. I know a couple who are only together on weekends. He's retired and does his own thing, and she drives to her kids house and takes care of the grandchildren during the week. Look at Bill and Hillary Clinton. I doubt they even see each other much. Only thing that is actually required to keep a marriage together is the desire to do so.

Sure, I think that having kids in common (YOUR biological kids) is enough to keep a marriage together, though it doesn't attest to whether it is a happy marriage. I don't think those people want to go through the hassle of getting divorced and going through the whole mating ritual again. I'd say 1/4 to 1/3 of the kids I knew growing up had parents in a similar situation. And, as they got older and middle-aged spread set in, they knew they couldn't get another "prime" mate.
Yeah, let's look at Bill and Hillary Clinton. Two dysfunctional power-hungry people in a dysfunctional marriage for which all the "eyewash" is not enough to convince anyone. One time, I was driving from CA to the PNW and had to wait in Redding for them to clear I-5 of snow over the passes. So, I was stuck in this smaller town that had a B&N. On an end shelf, there was a book called "The Truth About Hillary." It was so entertaining that I read the whole thing and then the highway was reopened!
Marriage has become complicated because people make it complicated and most have no more values in it. It's treated like a game now.
That's amusing, really You sure seem to have a lot of opinions about marriage for someone who has stated often enough that you aren't
