YES! STILL MARRIED!
Simply Said: POSITIVE THINKING
We already have the CONFETTI!” (I LOVE this man I’m sharing life with)
Over the years we have faced and survived about everything possible that might have split us up in our marriage.There were times I didn't LIKE
We awoke this morning to the over night handiwork of our cat Shadow…well
named & well known for her hunting prowess!
In the living room was a half roll of paper toweling “grated” up into MANY pieces with her sitting in the midst of the carnage without a shred of even a
guilty look on her face…almost flaunting her latest job.
The “Positive thinking” part was when my husband came out…took a look…
uttered an “OMG” and then said: “At least we will be ready for a PARADE!”

my husband but never a time under the worst scenarios that I stopped LOVING him. I guess I just hate returning things!
No one in the family thought it would last and were fairly vocal about it.
I couldn't cook, clean right or know anything about men; actually.I just knew I had prayed for a very long time that I would know what love felt like. God sent Jerry.
I was actually very shy...couldn't even look a guy in the eye! My Dad told me that WHEN the "right one" came along I would know it! That used to annoy me until it actually happened! OMG! When I saw him(My 2nd year of college...his first year...yes, I was older by 1 year & 10 months...he STILL doesn't let me forget that 52 years later!!)He insists to this day that I had "stalked" HIM...but he was way too cooperative for that to be true.:)
If I had to sum up WHY our marriage lasted:
(1) We respected each other.
(2) We had basically the same family values.
(3)We had a way of "adapting" to the changes in our marriage & society.
(4)We were able to see "light" in any dark situation whether it was to protect each other or use humor to dull the sharp edges.
(5)Yes, we had a strong chemistry of attraction for a long time...longer than just the "Honeymoon" phase of today. Intimacy is a wonderful part of marriage; it too changes but actually into something even deeper and more intimate than just physical performance & calisthenics.
(6) We ENJOY each other.
HE IS STILL MY SWEETHEART..... I AM HAPPIEST WHEN I AM WITH HIM.
