Do you get funnier later in the day? (joking)

I think we have set a high bar for marriage so we have older brides and grooms. After alot of thought, I decided young marriages work out best. Now I know that is not always true but growing up together sort of binds you for life.
This expectation that no man would want a flaky bride is not true. Some men worship at the altar of flaky brides.
I was sort of a flaky, insecure bride. Skittish is how they describe it down here. My husband adored it,,his life mission was to "settle" me down. It worked. I am a rock solid grandmother now. He couldn't live without me nor me without him. We "smoothed" each other's rough spots!!!
I love marriage stories and think marriage is our greatest institution. It amazes me what marriage does for a person over time.
