The interesting thing about your stories is that THE FAMILIES were backing that up. Meaning that to some extent they weren't just responsible for themselves but also to their families. Isn't this also part of the reason that arranged marriages tend to last so long?
Interesting....when so many people are trying to move away from marriages where families are involved, family may be one of the glues that binds the relationship together.
