Hollywood overstates both the romance of marriage and the prevalence of divorce. Celebrities have divorce rates that are atypical and higher than most couples. I suspect that in celebrity marriages, there are huge egos on both sides and they do seem to encourage unrealistic expectations about falling in love.

If either person isn't 100% committed to scale every mountain that comes before you to make your relationship work then you aren't ready to enter into it.
