There MUST be better photos. I know these two are better looking than this.
I would think that many times, it can be "set energy" that creates these relationships, with people playing a role that bleeds into life for a bit. But once the shoot's over, the real person re-emerges, and people who've played characters for 3 months may not always be compatible in real life.
Just like the military. Many of these marriages DO work, however, I have seen (and been in a few) where it is just the "situation" that creates the bond. Once removed from the deployment or training, the romance often times ends.

It's nice to see several that lasted to the decade mark or longer even if that's only maybe half of them. I think at times the acting was too good. They didn't realize they were only acting and mistook it for love.
