Great message. After offending, befriending, then "infatuating" my soulmate we have been married this month for 36 of the happiest years of life.interesting our 1st date was to a crab house , second was a weekend canoe trip down the Potomac River. 6 months later we were married and 6 months after the with a son we went through 2 years of counseling with our pastor. 1 year apart and 1 year together. finally he said your at a good place. it's hasn't all be easy but many rewards.
one very important thing about marriage; find something your passionate about and incorporate it into your life. I'm an artist with may talents that helps me to get my head together. She has her passions and we respect our space. It's great to get away and clear your mind of all the baggage you encounter. Helps with getting a fresh look.

Note: as a friend I once cut firewood and delivered it to her, as she was a single mom. Jokingly, I remind her of "persuading" me to marry her with the point that "I would only have to cut firewood for one place!"
