She only wanted to look her best.

However, I realized some years later that I had been in "like" with her. Love came along a long time later when the hectic period of raising the children was passing by. She is such a fantastic mother. They are a true reflection of her caring and understanding and loving ways. She never failed to praise me in front of others. She was kind to people who may not have been the same to her. That turns like into love, no question about it. A husband must practice integrity or the marriage will not work. Be honest in everything you do. Mean what you say and do it. We learned in the navy to be five minutes early for an appointment. Go home after work, not to a bar. Treat every female as if your mother was standing next to you. That will result in a lasting marriage for sure.

Ever notice that golf courses hire the prettiest girls to operate the drink cart! Yes, guys will be guys, but do you really need to flirt while your lady love is not there? Leave that for the bachelors. Your love for your wife must be so strong as every woman ever conceived takes second place.

How did the vows go?

For better or worse, sickness and in health, richer or poorer. Yes we all took those vows and stated before everyone present that we would carry them out. Combine these solemn vows with the few insights I’ve stated here and you too may have a fantastic lasting marriage.

Our wish for you is that you enjoy the kind of life we have had and keep doing the little things, as they are going to keep your marriage going, till death do you part.
