THere is a choice for OVER 50 and people have checked it???? WOW, those people need to go get checked for a disease. THere should be a choice for 1 partner, your spouse. IN a world of decency and morality most people should be able to say, yea Ive been with just my spouse. We are a debauched society, God help us. We are no different than the Romans, right before they went down.
There were a lot of "shoulds and shouldn'ts" in this post.
I know this is gonna sound crazy, but lets say someone got married young and actually stayed married till the day they die just like we are supposed to do. Your total should be 1, I know a crazy idea.

I guess you could marry "for a lifetime" and end up in an unhappy relationship ..for a lifetime.
I know this will start trouble, but my religion allows divorce and so do the two other major single-deity religions. So, even long-ago when divorce was probably impractical for a large number of people, the creators of our religious ethics recognized that there needed to be a way to get out of a damaging relationship.
I'm happy that I didn't get married at 16 like my grandmother to a man 20 years older than she was. Before he got old and feeble, my grandfather was also abusive to her and their kids. Of course, the marriage lasted a LOOONG time.
Actually, my grandmother did seem pretty happy. She spent a lot of time in church and my grandfather was kind of on the periphery of her daily life by the time I came along.
They didn't share a room, and didn't do much together really. She did attempt to drag him to church occasionally and she did cook for him, but that was about it. She spent the rest of her time taking care of us, tending to the animals and visiting her friends and kids.
Before getting married, I thought I was unsatisfied. After getting married, I realized the meaning of the word "unhappiness." Marriage really made me CHERISH my singleness.
The only problem with being single is the way other people treat me! It is difficult being somewhat attractive and being friends with married couples. No, I don't want the paunchy ******* you married. Are you serious? I also still have to fight off unwanted advances from unsuitable single guys. WTF I am an old woman, I guess I look like an easy target.
Those aren't good enough reasons for me to stay in a bad relationship.
Recently, my (unhappily married) mom had the nerve to ask me if I was dating anyone. All I can say, is "Misery loves company."
Nevertheless, physical (hee hee hee) relationships can be conducive to mental and physical health. As long you can avoid diseases.
I don't have any intention of getting married again, but I think I'd enjoy having a boyfriend with OODLES of money and his own house. Cohabitation is where I draw the line.

My great-aunt was widowed in her early 20s when her husband was killed at Normandy. She remarried later. That happens, you know.
