Title: I declare... Post by raydawg on 04/09/17 at 08:34:13 Been 34 years today my wife made the biggest mistake of her life ;D But in doing so, she provided me an opportunity to be a husband, father, and in all honesty, showed me what it is to be a man. Not to default to weakness, excuse, and blame, no, but to acknowledge my shortcomings and then tackle them. It is not in proving, but in overcoming. The BIGGEST thing she taught me is streadfast commitment to a pledge. It's easy to exhibit joy and happiness when all is right in my eyes, it's another thing all together to hold fast in a storm and stay to course instead of seeking temporary shelter that will forever alter the promise you made to all who entrusted you to the destination..... I share this guys, for if I can, you can, if you are willing to toss some of our chauvinistic ideas overboard ;D We don't have to pretend to be strong, will only need to be real. PS: and yes, my lil' dinghy can occasionally still find the port o' call ;D |

Title: Re: I declare... Post by Papa Bear on 04/09/17 at 09:02:06 Congrats, Ray !! My Mama Bear & I started dating in '62 and going strong today. I attribute it to 3 things: 1) Neither of us walked away. 2) I attended my first AA meeting in '89 3) I attended my latest one this morning ;) Yes, 2 ships still continue to "collide in the night" ;) Heading out on The Fox (my fox orange S40) for a nice cruise after lunch. It's going to about 70F here in the Great Lakes region today. 8-) |

Title: Re: I declare... Post by LANCER on 04/09/17 at 16:12:45 I made 36 years on my first marriage before she passed away and 5 years with my second wife. Yes, it takes a commitment to your marriage, to your wife. Divorce is NOT an option. Happy Anniversary Dawg ! |

Here I am!!!! No ironing.....just a lot of yardwork this weekend! It has been 23 years of marriage for me. I didn't get married until I was 38 - before that I was pretty much married to my work and not yet ready to settle down. And the food.....I am married to a vegetarian. So it isn't the food that keeps me in the relationship. (She is a good cook - even if there isn't any bacon in the salad). I used to be a 'dreamboat".....but my cargo shifted! :( |

Title: Re: I declare... Post by MShipley on 04/10/17 at 13:23:24 Kinda like Lancer, I was married for 37 years, 40 if you count the years living together. My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and died 19 days later. However about three years ago I was in Nicaragua on a Mission trip and met a wonderful Lady from the church I did not know (I attend a rather large church). We have been married for two years and its great. Like Dave said, if you want to make marriage work then divorce is not an option......congratulations to you. |

Title: Re: I declare... Post by raydawg on 04/10/17 at 17:32:25 Man, you guys are funny ;D You guys have strung some real impressive sobriety together, awesome! Gee at only what, 15 years for me..... You can prolly still smell it on my breath :P Anybody, ANYBODY, who might be wondering if they can go without it, just ask these guys, all the fret and worry about never drinking again, if it, drinking, presents a problem to you, that it decides your life for you, etc, it's all a crock, you don't miss it at all ;) |
