From someone who's been there:
Marriage as an institution is not doomed.  It's as solid as any two people
who are in it and committed to it.  If a marriage doesn't last the lifespan
of the couple, is it a failure?  If two 19 year old kids get married, learn
about life together, produce children and part when they can no longer
relate to eachother 'as one', is that a failure?  I don't think so.  My
marriage was *not* a failure.  I will happily marry again, wiser and hopefully
with these vows:  'To love, honour and respect eachother as long as we both
shall love' - that's sucess.
