My parents went to school together and my mother waited for my dad when he served in WWII. They married in 1946 and she died 10 years ago today, 12 days after their 66th anniversary. Never saw two people more in love.
Yeah, figure that one out, this is a rarity..."death due us part" is a pipe dream.

It is wonderful to see and hear of couples like this. I am glad to see some of my school mates, friends and family who have remained married and in love all these years.
I recall an elderly couple many years ago when I was young that came into the restaurant where I worked about once a week. He would open the door and pull her chair out for her. You could tell by looking at them how they still loved one another. One day he came in alone as she had died. It was not a week later that he died also.
I believe my paternal grandparents were that much in love throughout their marriage. My grandmother died in 1978 from the swine flu vaccination and my grandfather the following year. There was nothing medically wrong with him. I believe with her gone he had nothing to live for.

My maternal grandparents were the same. Married almost 60 years.
My grandmother died three months to the day after my grandfather died.
I stayed with her for a month after his death, she kept saying "I just want to be where he is."
There will be none. WWIII with likely involvement of nuclear weapons will probably make humanity extinct...
Countries can wage conventional war without using nukes, even though they have them, because of the understanding that using them would mean an extinction level event.
My parents met a few years after WWII and married in 1949.
He lost his lower legs in the war and walked on artificial legs. She had heard about him because they were from the same small town, but she was 7 years younger. Her best friend was engaged to to his best friend, and they were set up on a double date. Married at 20 and 27. I am the fourth of their seven kids.
They were married for 50 years before Dad died of a heart attack. Mom died a little more than 20 years later.

So, did she have any standards in looking for a future partner/spouse? Or did they only marry because her best friend got married...all around the same time?
You should rethink the epiphany you had twenty years ago. Of all my aunts and uncles who served in WWII, only one has anything close to a relationship during the war. All the rest met and married their spouses several years after the war.
Same with my family. They all married someone they met after the war. That is why many of the men were in their 30' and 40's when they had kids. By the time they met a woman, decided to get married, got married, and then had kids, they were late 30's and early 40's when they had the last kid.
