Well, coming up on our 24th wedding anniversary. I was married when I was young, in my early 20’s, so I have now been alive longer with my wife in
this life, than I have without her. We’ve been through rough patches, I am sure like all the rest. And it has been a beautiful ride with my wife the
whole way. She was the one that stuck by my side when I went through some horrible slander that cost me a lot of friends, and even a lost worse. And
when I succumbed to the bottle for a number of years, she still remained by my side. She was my support when I needed it the most, and was always on
my side, helping me through it all. I know God is there with me, and he sure has used her to keep me afloat.
Was up tonight thinking about what to do for our anniversary and made a little video. She’s looking better at almost 50 years old now, than she did
at 20.
I remember during our wedding talk, the elder giving it said they had interviewed a married couple for over 50 years and asked them what was their
secret. She said the wife said that on their wedding day she said she was going to keep a list of 10 things she would always forgive her husband for.
And she never wrote down a list so whenever he was a dufus she would say, welp that was one of the things on the list and would forgive him. I’ve
kept those words of wisdom close to my heart even all these years later. They go by in a blink of an eye. I still remember our first child being born
as if it was yesterday and now he is grown and has a fiancé of his own. We’re planning his wedding for next April.
I told my wife I was making a video she gave me permission, she doesn’t know what it is for yet. But she doesn’t mind me uploading this to YouTube
I’m going to share it with her later. I think I’m in it somewhere too.
congrats! 31 for me. We have gone from dirt poor, to almost smashing the glass ceiling of middle class, back to comfortably numb and happy. We did
it together, and at this point, neither of us could make it on the outside. so we spend our time together, laughing, smiling, and making sure I have
someone to wash my under ware.
That is really sweet and heart warming, but you do like so many go on about looks and not personality.
Congratulations I hope you will make many more anniversaries together!
Many ugly humans and they are loved and marry too. Do we love those who do not remain beautiful> My daughter in-law inherited very bad skin and as she
aged she lost her looks but she is still as wonderful and as loved as always.
We watched this old movie last night, great movie, It tells that kind of story.
Makes me happy to read this, congratulations to the 24th
You are both just one year away from what we call "silver wedding". Fifty years is "golden wedding", then you're in the 70s but that's not too old
today.
Its not about collecting points though, just wanted to point this out.
Thank you for your kind comments. Sorry have not logged in in awhile to reply to them all. Been busy with a plot of land recently purchased getting
ready to build a house. It's nice to see I'm in good company with people that still cherish the marriage union, and have remained with their partners.
