Now before you start making assumptions, keep reading.
I met my wife in high school when we were 15 years old. We were friends for ten years until…until we decided no longer wanted to be just friends. :) I strongly recommend that best friends fall in love. Good times will be had by all.
Nevertheless, falling in love with my best friend did not prevent me from having certain fears and anxieties about getting married. The nearer Kim and I approached the decision to marry, the more I was filled with a paralyzing fear. Was I ready? Was I making the right choice? Was Kim the right person to marry? Would she make me happy?
Then, one fateful night, I shared these thoughts and concerns with my dad.

Then as you get older and more complacent, you realize, it's cheaper to keep her.
Beautiful words by the father...
One of the best articles that basically sums up marriage!
I would probably be still married today but my EX seemed to think it was "all about him" and I got tired of always trying to please him and it still was not good enough. Even down to cooking meals - it was never good enough for him to compliment on. If I would purchase a gift for him, it was really not what he wanted or needed and he would let me know that.
He was like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde - nice when everything was going his way but watch out when it did not!
great article. father has wisdom...
One of my favorites for the year. Thanks for bringing this to us, Joe. Unfortunately for me, my ex-wife never grabbed on to this concept.
