    Well, it would be sweet if I didn’t notice the math. It would seem that he was about 20 and she had to about 13 when they married. That’s not my idea of sweet and romantic. Obviously it was a fixed marriage, but even they they had quite a few kids, it doesn’t necessarily mean they were happy throughout.
