But if they don't even like each other, why bother?
(these threads scare the bejezus out of me :) )
I withdraw the comment.
Drat. Now my inane refutation counts for even less.
(these threads scare the bejezus out of me :) )
Because they promised to love, not like. One thing my wife always knew, and indeed used against me, was I would never divorce her. Her oversight was to assume that meant I'd never leave, either.
Now, are lives are such that if one knew the other were going to die in a plane crash, we'd insist on taking the same flight.
OK, just didn't sound that way in the posts ;)
You can take comfort in that I could distinctly hear violins whilst reading your last paragraph ;o>
Having The BeeGeezus scared out of you is a good thing, although I thought "You Should Be Dancing" had a good beat.
I'd like to remind you Seigfried and Roy didn't stop loving big cats when one nearly ripped Roy's head off.
After so much time and all the advice - I don't know if anyone has suggested this - but - Pray!
Pray that God will give you Both a sense of humor to see something funny between you every day - That will help you through hard times.
And -
Pray that you will both have the gift of "chit-chat."
I know many couples who are seniors and the common thread amongst all of them apears to be these two thing - their ability to laugh about things - and to share thoughts without trying to change each other.
Good luck and God bless - remember - the trials you are passing through in this Life - are just that - Passing!
