At almost 60 and 37 years of marriage this is no small question. If I hadn't married him, I would not have the family I have and I would not trade them for the world. If I had not married this man, I would not have become the strong woman I am. If I hadn't married him, I would have missed out on some special times. But. And this is a BIG but. If I had not married him, perhaps I would have known what it was like to truly be loved. To be respected. To be cherished. It's been a trade off and I try not to look back or do "what ifs".
No, and I corrected that mistake 5 years ago. I do also recognize that if I had been wise enough to stay single a few more years it might have worked later in life.
Yes, indeed. For me I didn't get married for 7 years, thats one long engagement. I enjoy all of the new things I learn about my husband and yes I am still learning. Even if they yuk! or I think that they are odd or I disagree I still enjoy the learning about him.
I was already married by the time I was 25. It ended really badly, but our first years together were so beautiful that I do indeed believe I would repeat history, even though it destroyed my heart. Some things are just meant to work a certain way. The aftermath has changed me for the better.
i wish i knew more what he was like before we got married. i could have saved myself alot of years of misery- i think if we'd lived together for a year i might never have been married at all! lol
but looking back now, after 24 years together, i think that no matter who i married i would have had challenges to face- marriage is that way-
