Family Forum / Marriage / Marriage / September 2006Love at first sight
I am new to this group. All are welcome to submit information to me. I have been married to my loving husband for over 23 years. I know that prayer has kept my husband and I loving one another. We fell in love when we first laid eyes on one another. He was a blind date. After dating seven months we married. Here we are still in love 23 years later, three children later, and it has been as if we are still on our honeymoon. >I am new to this group. All are welcome to submit information to me. sh.t. We have to start submitting reports in here? I demand to speak to the manager! Sheila > I am new to this group. All are welcome to submit information to me.

He was a blind date? When did he have the bandages removed and have his first look at you? :-) GGG  SignatureTo contact me: GGGNH@yahoo.com you are so lucky to found the one in the first try! I hope to still be in love in 23 years like you say... > you are so lucky to found the one in the first try! I hope to still be > in love in 23 years like you say... No matter what the fairy tales say, there is no "happily ever after." Having a good, strong marriage that lasts through the years takes work. Some of it's easy and fun work. But sometimes it's just plain hard. But through all that, after 62 years, my grandparents loved each other very, very much. When my grandfather couldn't communicate anything else (after several strokes), he still could tell my grandmother he thought she's beautiful. And she took care of him at home for the last four years of his life, with the help of a home health nurse, who came to bathe him and put him in his chair in the living room in the mornings, and my uncle, who came to put him back to bed at night. That's what I want from my marriage. Kitten Wow... I don't have reletives like that... I wish I did... I mean, thats what love is for, thats what the vow means when you marry someone... In Turkey there used to be plain "will be marry this person", but nowadays, they include the "in health and in sickness, through better or worse" I'm not sure the exact words, I cant remember :) But thats why you marry someone, to be with that person, no matter what happens, as long as you love each other... thats my opinion at least > No matter what the fairy tales say, there is no "happily ever after." > Having a good, strong marriage that lasts through the years takes work.

But I'm not sure that's in the vows these days, anymore, is it? (given the 50% divorce rate, et al). Sigh, I guess it's more realistic to just leave it out... > But thats why you marry someone, to be with that person, no matter what > happens, as long as you love each other... thats my opinion at least [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> Kitten > > Wow...

Sigh, I guess it's more realistic to just leave it out... You know, for some people, the marriages last *longer* if you leave that out. lol... it's not in our vows. We had stuff about protecting each other's backs, giving each other the first and best, it being his eyes I look into in the mornings.... "for as long as we both shall choose." We just work really hard to keep our marriage where we both choose. ;-) Kitten > But through all that, after 62 years, my grandparents loved each other > very, very much.

What a lovely story. -- Anita -- > you are so lucky to found the one in the first try! I hope to still be > in love in 23 years like you say... Wait..23 years you say? Wasn't there a guy who posted a few weeks ago who was trying to find a way to break up with his wife of 23 years? I believe he met her on a blind date. Hmmmm... > We fell in love when we first laid eyes on one another. He was a blind date. So how did that actually work then? Yeah, yeah - sorry - dumb joke. But it was just like an itch that had to be scratched. Anyhow - as a psychologist who does marital work, it is nice to hear these stories. There really are happy marriages out there. I can testify - as it will be 21 years for us on Oct 5. > I am new to this group. All are welcome to submit information to me. I > have been married to my loving husband for over 23 years.

Hell, I've been around a few years and I'm just starting to understand you whackos! --Brian How could it be a blind date if you saw him? > I am new to this group.
