Read all the responses, guess it’s time I chimed in.
Met my wife when she was still in high school, I was three years out of the Corps.
Didn’t start dating her until she was 20,(I was 30).
Married her when she was 21, put her through school for her Bachelors Degree in Speech Pathology and Teacher Education (she has 2 degrees, I have 1, Hydrology).
She finally caught up on the pay scale after we had been married about 15 years.
In the interim we had two kids (one boy, one girl), we both worked our tails off to give them a better life.
BEST 41 YEARS OF MY LIFE, had to browbeat her into retiring.
LIFE IS JUST SO DAMN GOOD!
You done it right, bruh.
Hats off to ya!
It is.
