One of the reasons why I never married was because I haven’t met a woman that I felt I could trust with the “forever” part of the Marriage OATH. (The other reason is that I am forced to live in Seattle and most ‘women’ here are lesbo/Marxist/militant-feminist).
My most sincere condolances go out to all Gents who have done the right and honorable things and have been shafted for their troubles....there are a great many of you, if my experience is any judge. May God Bless You.
There are lots of us out there who take the "forever" part of the marriage oath very seriously.
My husband and I have shared almost 14 years together; lots of ups, a couple of serious downs, but overall, a very solid marriage. I love him more today than the day I married him; he is not just my husband, he is the father of our precious children...and, in my eyes, that makes him more special than any man on Earth.
He is the man God wanted for me, and I swore, before God, to be his forever. I have faithfully kept that oath, and will do so until I die.
If you have God in your marriage, and treat each other with respect and trust, you can get through anything life throws your way. All of the difficulties we faced didn't come from inside our relationship, but from obstacles the world placed in our path (health issues, etc.). Then again, we spent 3 years getting to know each other - really know each other - before we married, so there were no "surprises" after the wedding.
God bless!
I’ll give you one piece of advice. Marry your second wife first. :)
