I saw my wife for the first time and it was love at first sight for both of us. We've been together for 30 years now, married for 25 of them. 6 kids, 3 granddaughters (so far) and we're happier and more in love now than ever. There's not a day that goes by that I don't fervently praise God for bringing her into my life. Not trying to rub salt in anyone, just saying that true love does exist, and I wish everyone would have it.
Ditto on the love at first sight deal. It took me 8 years to get her to marry me. I would say that I cannot imagine how miserable the last thirty years would be without her, but I had almost 35 years of misery before I finally married her. Not exactly 35 years of bliss, but as close as you can get living with another human being in close proximity.
I saw a comedienne once talking about the notion that there is someone born as your true match. She said she believed it, but that her mate must have been stillborn. I saw that before my wife and I were a thing, so I saw her point to some extent. I am glad that you found that person.
The single piece of advice I give to folks getting married is to never compete with your spouse. Properly, you are a team. If you win, then the other loses; where is the long term value of that as a proposition? Oh well. Good fortune.
Oh she looks like fun, now anyway!!! That will change soon enough as they can’t help turning into bitches for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAmen Brother!
DeleteGenerally just after the cutting of the wedding cake. "Give me a BIG piece. I don't need to stay slim and beautiful anymore".

I hear awfully wedded on the first patch. Not sure it got better.
ReplyDeleteIf you can inject some humour and make them laugh they will stick around longer. Getting all butt hurt and keeping it in is not good.
Loosen up Cavguy. She looks like fun. Full stop.
ReplyDeleteHere's some advice, son: run, don't walk away.
ReplyDeleteShe lost it when the love, honor and obey part came up, especially obey

Why do brides smile?
ReplyDeleteBecause they know they've given their last blowjob.
The camera cut before he gave her a swift kick in the ass.

ReplyDeleteMy last wife lasted about 12 years before going sour. She lasted longer than the previous three.

You're a very lucky man. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kenny. We've been through some serious drek together, but we've always come out stronger.
