It was meant as a reaction to your parents’ relationship. It worked for them, but that’s because they both cooperated on the mutual goal. It would fail when only one party tries, and the other does not. And you have no control over what the other person does… expect when you are choosing the other person.
If you want to achieve the same as your parents did, you have two problems to solve:
how to be the right kind of person
how to find the right kind of person
The first one seems more important, because if you fail at that, it doesn’t matter how many relationships you will try. But the second one is an independent problem, at least as much difficult.
