A Fairytale Wedding Doesn't Guarantee Happily Everafter


Welcome to our wedding! Forty-one years ago we stood at an altar with stars in our eyes believing the glow of those candles would last a lifetime.  We didn't realize it then, but both of us were idiots and one of us was a fool. There's a difference. You'll have to read We All Married Idiots to understand.

Our first years of marriage were rough. I packed Dan's bags numerous times because I expected him to fulfill needs that no man could fulfill. I wasn't happy so I thought, what many unhappily married people think, perhaps I married the wrong person. You see, I was concentrating on the three things I could never change about my marriage instead of focusing on the ten things I could.

I shudder thinking what my life would have been like had I succesfully thrown away this wonderful man I love with all my heart. I thank God for Dan and his commitment to me when I was a fool. Forty-one years later we glow with a love that lasted and we give thanks to God for allowing two idiots grow old together.

 Hold on to your marriage! Don't let go. It's worth fighting for.
