B’H yes, why do you ask?
OK, then you might understand.
A young guy meets a young girl and it’s love at first sight. Within three weeks they know they want to marry each other but, at that point, they simply aren’t ready for marriage.
Do you *really* think that at that point, we could have just walked away from each other for three years and then just picked things up right after the wedding? Do you think the relationship would have been the same?
IOW, relationships just don’t work that way. As a married guy, you can understand that.

NB: I’m not necessarily defending the relationship – I’m just answering his question of “why didn’t you…”
