I’m no fan of marrying an ugly person. Looks matter. But the person inside the body is who you are actually marrying. Be careful to note how you feel about that person and spending your entire life with them.
My first marriage was at age 21 and lasted 20 years. The first ten were pretty good. The last ten were hell, and we had become Christians with three kids. Well, at least one of us was/is.
Now, I’ve been marred to the same woman for 22 years and very much look forward to the next 30. It is what I imagined, as a kid, marriage was supposed to be. Sure, she’s attractive, but it is the person inside I’m in love with. And she is also my best friend, to the point that I really don’t have any close friends. She’s all I need.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life / Never make a pretty woman your wife / So for my personal point of view / Get an ugly girl to marry you...
Good work.
I hope you tell your wife what you wrote here, I know she’d love to hear that, I’d love to hear it from my husband - who isn’t the mushy type, at all.
This will be 30 years for us, skeptics told us “2 years max” and the idea of divorce or separation is unfathomable to me. We don’t look the same as we did in our 20s, LOL, but life has been good. Very good.
What a lovely ode to your wife. Happy for you both.
