BTW, true love is waving to your wife as they wheel you into sugery, and you know that she's going to be there when you wake up.

Agree 100%, however I also must say I have never met any female of my age group who even remotely gives me such confidence in them.

If I might ask, what is your age group? Both my wife and I were married once before, before we met. Both of our prior marriages failed in large part due to the juvenile behavior and expectations on all fronts.

When we met, she was 31 and I was 27, and we were both looking desperately for someone to grow up, and grow old with. Had we met 4 or 5 years earlier, we probably wouldn't have worked out, ourselves.

Speaking solely for myself, I know that at 25 I was nothing more than an adolescent who shaved more often. She recounts her younger days similarly.

Sometime around the middle of the last century, the worst of all possible combinations arose. Children matured physically at an ever decreasing age, and matured mentally and emotionally at an increasing age.
