Are marriages like George and Amal Clooney’s rare?

[Lesighhh]

Saw an interview of them both released today talking about their marriage. They say they’ve never really had an argument and they’ve found marriage to be easy, in fact 'the easiest thing'. Amal says it’s 99% luck to meet the right person, and prior to meeting George at age 35 she didn’t think she’d find someone. They seem to have such love and mutual respect for each other. Is this kind of marriage the exception rather than the norm? Have they been extremely lucky or do many people have this?

If it’s a sham marriage because he’s gay and wanted to end the rumours, surely he would’ve done it about 30 years ago and not let the rumours rage for decades!

Exactly

MN will tell you it is rare but it's not a true reality.
I agree with her and could say the same about my marriage.

Interesting comments. This couple have always intrigued me. I watched the interview and my instincts were mixed but I like to think it's true what they say. She reached for his hand at one point and it seemed natural - not a performance. He does however give fake vibes or acting vibes. He obviously looks up to her and has great admiration and probably is quite protective. Being a human rights lawyer - she must be made of strong stuff - I always thought .

I mean, I was with someone for a decade when I was younger and we literally never argued either. We loved each other very much, he was handsome and a lovely guy but...there was no passion and that's why we ultimately split. I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to never argue, ever. I feel like it means there's no fire.
