has anyone grown up with a community/friend group/family in which the *majority* of marriages were healthy and long-lasting, and that was your main experience of the world?

long lasting definitely, that's what you get when divorce is extremely taboo. i suspect they were kinda unhealthy tho, also what you get when divorce is extremely taboo.
yep, growing up all the long lasting marriages I knew were not happy or healthy, but divorce would have been costly (religiously and/or socially). so I wouldn’t consider a long marriage necessarily successful
I assume long lasting AND healthy/happy marriages are rare, sadly
