"for better or worse" so many people take that so lightly, it IS inspiring to see someone who doesnt. I remember when I was very young,seeing my grandparents sit at the kitchen table, holding hands, staring into each others eyes, and generally looking like lovestruck teens. this after over 50 years of marriage. It taught me the value of marriage and helped me to wait for the right one.( Thank God she found me!) I can picture the two of you the same way, staring into each others eyes, looking back on a lifetime of loving each other, and i hope that your happiness lasts you all of your days! it seems from the stories i have read, those of us lucky enough to have a partner in our lives who is there for us, and can be strong enough to survive the trials we place upon them as we grow into ourselves, are truly blessed. I cannot imagine making this journey without the love of my wife,or without the peace of mind that comes from knowing there are good people here who have walked the path that i must take.
