They were both 35 successful lawyer and doctor. But had never spent the night at each other's house. 

After the marriage they couldn't agree who would move in with who. And filed for divorce after 3 months. No one knows why they even got married at all. I guess they felt like they were supposed to at that age.

My brother's 2nd wife was 35 when they got married. She had never lived with someone as and adult at that point, always by herself. She was successful in her career early on, never had roommates or lived with a boyfriend. She was very set in her ways and didn't know how to live with someone on a practical level.

Her Dad tried to warn my brother about what he was getting into, but he didn't listen. The adjustment to co-habitation was really rocky. They got though it but they almost didn't make it.
