They were sharing each other's lifeforce. This extended their lifespans but made it so one couldn't live without the other. This is the power of taking and maintaining vows. Divorcees die earlier than alcoholics for this reason.

>hurr durr muh magic lifeforce
what it really is:
1) Stress shortens life
2) Divorcees experience more stress due to their divorce
3) Happily married people experience less stress due to their happiness
4) Happily married people have a reason to continue living (their loved one), and once they start to die that reason progressively goes away, which is why married couples often "die together" or shortly one after another

People really underplay how their minds has a physiological impact on their bodies. At a certain age, if you mentally give up so does your body. Your partner dying is as good as any to give up living.

69 fucking years?
I'm on my 7th year of being happily married and sometimes I feel like I want to go back to when I cried at the park for not having a gf and slap myself. Sometimes I really do crave what my life used to be before getting a girlfriend. I can tell she feels the same way too sometimes. It's all lovey dovey at one moment and at the next we kind of want to be alone and we can't stand each other. All of our defects become patently clear, yet somehow we stick together and support each other. Is it love? Or is it that both of us had to settle for the other and are afraid of losing this?
At least we're still having sex.

>All of our defects become patently clear, yet somehow we stick together and support each other. Is it love?
Yes. True love doesn't let those defects become actual problems in marriage. There is ot a single couple in this world that hasn't had a fight. It is only natural when two different people have different perceptions on things, but you don't ket those make you hate your wife

Dunno man I've been married for 11 years with kids and things aren't perfect but I've never for a second felt like I want to go back. Then again maybe that's why lazy spoiled people get divorced so much nowadays, the second everything isn't perfect they want to give up.

Don't let /pol/ meme you into getting married if you have any reservations. It sucks if you're an introverted loner. You lose a lot of freedom and you'll never have a moment of peace and solitude again.
If you have to get married, make sure it's to someone richer than you.

I deliberately misspent my youth as a notorious manwhore to destroy my belief that sex can provide meaning or contentment in life, and then had a series of awful marriage-like long term relationships that I harnessed and reverse engineered as they were collapsing so that I could similarly destroy my faith in love and marriage. I am now comfortably poised to enjoy middle and old as a bachelor. My time is my own, I have infinite freedom, and I have budgeted $14,000 a year (at my current budget) to spend on prostitutes. I happen to have very easily satisfied fetishes that border on being nonsexual for the other party, so I get a lot of bang for my buck. I also typically recruit my 'prostitutes' from the non-whore female population because my fetishes are so benign.

The sole remaining loose end in my lifestyle is that I would still like to have children in 5-15 years. Luckily I have a lot of upward mobility in my career and good savings, so I anticipate I will be able to entice a younger companion with good genes to act as a brood mare, with offers of financial security and a comfortable lifestyle. In the event this falls through, I am saving up for a surrogate and researching mail-order brides as a potential avenue. I also anticipate that the economy will worsen in the coming two decades, causing a sharp increase in the number of young women without savings and with worthless degrees who are willing to consider alternative survival strategies.

I have run the numbers on all this and concluded it is vastly less stressful and less costly than the conventional route, which (I have calculated) is 85%+ likely to end in alimony and child support slavery, the destruction of my mental and spiritual wellbeing, and the derailment of all my own life plans.
