As a matter of fact (or opinion), that is a classic pattern in
broken marriages of late. The woman grows, and the man stays the
same. Woman discovers she no longer likes the man (because she has
grown and changed). Woman leaves man. Man is completely mystified,
since he acted the way he always did--it worked in courtship/early
marriage--wha' happened???

Unless he is fortunate enough to understand the pattern, he goes off
and does it again. Pretty soon he is on his third marriage. Speaker
has it right; it is critical to find someone very close to maturity.
Marriage is not the place to help people grow up.
