The Seven Year Idiot

We had no idea that your prefrontal cortex doesn't develop all the way until at least age 22, more like 24, 25 for a guy.

My theory is you spend the first seven years of your marriage trying to change your spouse to fit your ego ideal. And then either you go the route of divorce or you go on a long hard journey together.
