Wow, beautiful writing from the OP!

Two thoughts from a GG:

One - Crossdressing often seems more important than marriage on this board, but the responses on this thread have shown otherwise!

Two - Marriage isn't the only relationship two people can have. I often think less emphasis on the 'together forever' and more on the honesty/friendship would mean less secret crossdressers and more accepting partners. Forever is forboding if your partner isn't absolutely perfect!

Perhaps just work the present?
