This post is quite brilliant, imho. Btw, much of it applies to my 32 year marriage and 32 year love with my wife. Great post.

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.
