I don't, but we would have to analyse carefully what we mean by "mate" (love? sex? raising children?)
Of course, all humans beings are not the same -- especially in these matters, regardless of what Hollywood tells everyone.
The hardest part, I think, is the children. You do need some stability to raise them, I guess (ideally). Not necessarily a partnership for life, but an investment of several decades.
Scratch that. The hardest part is that people go into marriage wanting different things. Some want a love story, some want children, some want somebody who'll do their laundry... It's no wonder they end up disappointed so often.
As the song goes, 'some of them want to use you, some of them want to get used by you'...
