When we married fifty years ago March 24, 'they' said it would never last; I married below my 'level'. He was as stubborn as I in making sure it worked for the two of us. Neither one of us are perfect, so why expect our kids to be perfect? As a parent and teacher, I know we set the standards high for our children to be successful, but we are the adults that need to let them know its unconditional love.,...and let our chosen pardner know we love and work together. Its an adjustment in retirement, after jobs cease and children gone from the home. But it gets easier to forgive when you cannot remember what you should forgive DH for!! LOL.
Guess you young gals will just have to remember that....after we have gone from your lives. Thanks, Carrie, its good to know a few of you are noting the real meaning of what I am saying. To me, Love is what makes the world go arouond: love for family, love for friends, and love of life...with a few hiccups along the way.
