How did Cinderella live happily ever after
Did Cinderella and the Prince's different background, not uncommon in relationships, lead to a long marriage?

Dear JonBev,
The early marriage between these two was fine. They had a great honeymoon and a fine time in the Palace for the first year or two. The difference in backgrounds caused no problem at all; in fact, it sparked them off even more. And what a sex life!
Problems began about two years into the marriage, when the Prince’s mother started being intrusive, trying to second-guess her daughter in law around Palace redecoration issues and such (“she has such common tastes . . ) It festered, and when Cindy fell pregnant there was more stress. How would their son be raised? Attempts to raise him part on the farm and part in fancy-land were only partially successful. Soon the Prince was spending more time at the office, and there began to be rumors about him and his secretary, a tall, patrician blonde, with whom he indeed did have a background in common. There was little marital love-making and it began to resemble the marriage of Charles and Diana.
Luckily, the Prince’s father, the King, who had done a course of psychotherapy after a wicked case of PTSD earlier in life, saw what was going on and raised hel. He pushed his son and daughter in law into a good married couples group, led by someone who saw that all couples have structural problems in their marriages, and wouldn’t take any nonsense. There, they learned to understand their core issues (believe me, the backgrounds issue wasn’t the only one!) and that they could CHOOSE to rescue themselves. They learned each other’s ways, even going so far as to study things as the histories of the Commoners of the realm and the long line of Kings that led to the Prince. They took their relationship to a place of mutual respect and enjoyment as they watched the family grow (Cindy had another child, a daughter; the father was almost certainly her husband. . . )
Was there grief and longing in their hearts, about how they'd been with each other in the bad times, whether they could have done better, whether anyone else could have made them feel more at home? Well of course. But this happens, it’s pretty much the human condition. But there was enough love and appreciation for their different backgrounds that the marriage worked. Ultimately, the hot sex and passion turned into real caring. They’re in their 60’s now, with four grandchildren. Everyone’s doing at least decently.
They’re a close family all right. They visit often, and everyone enjoys sending pictures and videos around the horn. Last year’s Christmas gift from the Prince was IPhones for all hands.
Sincerely,
Dr. P.
