(I know she said they were both young when they got married, but this came to mind instead)
In the 1950s, Frank Hudson is an East End hard man with an eye for young girls. When he meets Martha Sissons, he immediately becomes infatuated and marries her at 16 because her family won't let him have her any other way.
He is delighted to discover that Martha, who has lived a sheltered life in a convent school, is the very picture of innocence, ignorant even of the basic facts of life. He makes the most of this, debauching her in every way possible, trying out every kink he's heard of and generally using her as a sex toy.
Then when he's bored, he dumps her on one of his mates and thinks he's going to go off with someone else, only to find that she follows him around because she believes marriage is for life (and possibly also because she wants to hold on to the apparently very wealthy man she's married).
He gradually lets her ply him with hot meals and constant cups of tea, settling into a domestic life he never thought he wanted. He has one last try at leaving her by going to Florida when the law gets too close in the UK, but she still manages to turn up on his doorstep and they continue their happy marital life, commiserating about the sunshine and the heat. Then he gets arrested and she meets one of the British addicts he's been supplying -- but that's another story...
TL;DR: the Hudson's marriage starts off being his sexual fantasy of sexual debauchery, and ends up being her cosy fantasy of traditional marital bliss
