Frankly, people today get divorced far too easily and quickly without trying to work things out (yes, I know, it's a sweeping generalization, too bad) - the point is before he gets married they are not committed to each other for the rest of their life and afterwards they are. When they make that committment they have no intention of ever breaking it or even contemplating it, whereas beforehand the possibility is open, hence why people don't get marred right away.

Exactly. My SO and I are not rushing into this. We've been dating 8 months and I'm pretty sure I'm going to wait another 6 months before I consider getting engaged. She's going into vet school and I just started grad school so it would just be easier for us to wait until we're well into our programs. This will give us the time we need to see if we really are supposed to be together forever.
