even worse--my grandmother didn't love my grandfather at all and she never did (not one day of a 36 year marriage--in fact, she treated him with constant contempt although they stayed married until he died and had four children).

She was in love with someone else when she married my grandfather--a man who was not in a position to marry her and she just married my grandfather in order to get out of the house (she was extremely rebellious and hated living with her parents). She lied to my grandfather about her age and said that she was eighteen, she even forged a baptismal certificate to bolster her case. It was years before he found out that she had not been old enough to marry him.
