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.

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?

ReplyDeleteOne of the best articles that basically sums up marriage!

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.

great article. father has wisdom...
ReplyDeleteOne 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.
