I took up writing because I needed money. And I continued to write because it’s safer than stealing and easier than working. —Robert Heinlein

Shortly before my husband and I were married, as we were leaving the county clerk’s office after picking up our marriage license, the woman working behind the counter stuck her head out of the door and yelled down the hall “See you next time!” My husband-to-be stopped, turned around, and yelled back “No, this time I know this is The One!” At which point, I took him by the arm and said, “Let’s get out of here.”
We recently celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. If at first you don’t succeed . . . 😀

Funny. Glad it stuck. 🙂 it is the people who keep doing it over and over again who give marriage a bad reputation, which is kind of odd.
Been married 41 years. Marriage requires commitment. Impossible to make it work without that commitment.

I agree, you’ve got to have commitment and love.
My husband and I were both diagnosed with severe PTSD, before we met. His was caused by combat as a Marine Corps rifleman in Vietnam. My PTSD was caused by the childhood from hell. Until we each got some good healing therapy for our respective trauma issues, and then we both became Christians, we were much too broken and needy to make a marriage work.
