Glad I read the whole story before I said anything stupid. I don’t always do you know ;)
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.
30 years this August for this pair of losers.
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?
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.
Thanks for posting this.
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.
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!!!
Thank you for sharing. Several good lessons in there.
I tell young people these three things if they are contemplating marrying someone:
1. If you have no recollection of your fiance ever sincerely apologizing for anything, EVER - RUN, don’t walk from that person. They will blame you for everything that goes wrong in their life.
2. If you are marrying someone because you want them to make you happy and you believe they will, you will be sorely disappointed. If you are a woman you will probably divorce him. If you are a man, you will probably have an affair or three. Either way, you are going in for the completely wrong reason.
3. If you are marrying this person because you want to do everything you can to make them happy, you have a fighting chance, especially if they feel the same way.

No Sale. ;^)
What an utter load of cr@p. This is one reason why I’ll never darken the door of a “marriage” therapist.
I’m willing to bet a large chunk of Obama bucks that this guy’s wife, in her heart of hearts, believes she has lost approximately 0 arguments.
A woman goes to see her priest/rabbi/marriage counselor and says; “I hate my suband. He’s mean, nasty and abusive. I’m going to divorce him.”
The priest/rabbi/marriage counselor says; “Well go ahead. But first.. do something that will make his life miserable.” She is eager to do that so she takes his advice;
“Cook for him, clean for him, have relations on demand if he wants it. Do everything to please him and make him happy for one month with no arguing or complaining. Then leave him. And that way, he will be even more miserable when you’ge gone and he’ll realize what a fool he was for mistreating you. Trust me.. he will suffer even more if you do this.”
So she takes his advice and leaves. 3 months later the priest/rabbi/marriage counselor runs into the woman on the street and asks how her divorce is going?
“Divorce??”; exclaims the woman; “What divorce? Why would I divorce the sweetest, most wonderful and caring husband in the world? He is truly a gentleman and I’m more in love with him than ever.”

So. How do you suppose that happened?
My parents had a wonderful marriage of each losing to the other for life. They were in love all 69 1/2 years of their marriage. I was always in awe of their wonderful love for one another and how it always triumphed over adversity of every kind.
