Truly Amazing is Right
It is a good thing neither me nor my spouse spent $350 to get expert advice 23 years ago. We would not now be happily married with two wonderful children. Seems I am fortunate that neither my parents nor grandparents did either because I would not be here. I cannot think of many succesful marriages that were based on finding a spouse using the kind of advice described in the article. We all just took the plunge for better or worse because we fell in love with each other and wanted to have kids. None of us was any good at postponing sex either, except in the old days they had to be more discreet about it. We have all had a lot of both better and worse, and those of us still living will continue to do so. But the one common thread that I have seen is that when one spouse has passed away that has always been the worst of the worst for the survivor. Maybe that is all that can really be said about a succesful marriage, neither partner wants to live without the other and they both know it in their hearts. How do you find out the answer to that question about a prospective but as yet unknown partner at some seminar?
