Glad I read the whole story before I said anything stupid. I don’t always do you know ;)

Previews of coming attractions...

Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3.

I did the same thing, but there's definitely an anti-marriage campaign afoot...

Good article.

Fifty years next year for my bride and me. It has not always been easy but our love for each other has endured. So far.

Wife's Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner.

I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.

Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much.

I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing..' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.

On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behaviour. I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.'

When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed.

But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep; I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.



Husband's Diary:

A five putt ...how in hell can someone FIVE PUTT?

the destruction is so complete that research tells us it is better for children to have divorced parents than warring parents.

Oh if only this were true. They usually continue warring AFTER the marriage is dissolved even MORE fervently. The children know this and play it for all it's worth (shameless self promotion alert: read my book "The Guilty Parent Trap" downloadable on Amazon.com)

My marriage lasted 32 years until my better half succumbed to breast cancer. Although I quibble with the word choice “losers,” the observations and philosophy of this article seem spot on.

49 years in June for my wife and myself.

Finest woman I ever met.

Wouldn’t trade her for anything.

One of those housewives that Obama’s lesbian friend Hillary Rosen see’s no worth in.

The best half and I celebrate 21 years tomorrow. Wish I had time right now to read the whole article, apparently there is much more to it than the attention-grabbing title.

How dare they call MARRIED PEOPLE LOSERS! It is JUST THIS SORT OF DISDAIN FOR THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE that has our society in TOTAL DISARRAY!!!!

Calling married people LOSERS, is right out of the Soviet Playbook, where they tried to de-emphasize the family, replacing it, instead, with the State.

Are you a COMMUNIST???? For having POSTED THIS, you must be a COMMUNIST!!!1!!!1!!!

It seems the Obama administration is full of lesbians. Wonder why that is? Must that most lesbians are Marxists. Just my unqualified guess.

28 plus years for us. I can’t think of too many serious issues that have arisen over the years, but then again, I am a great guy! /s

For the most part, if we have a difference of opinion I relent. When I don’t, she knows I’m serious and so I usually get my way on that one.

You might want to read the article before ranting on the attention getting headline.

No, I think not. After all, it was I who first coined the tagline, "Proudly Posting Before Reading The Article Since 1999".

No, I'd much rather rant, then read.
