My wife and I have been blessed with forty two wonderful years of marriage. I have tried to think back over the years on what it was that made our marriage work for us for all of those years. I think that one of the best things for us was that we made time for each other. We took many romantic weekend getaways just the two of us, we never let the kids or family members get between us, and we never let money get between us. We always have put each other before ourselves. I do not need to worry about myself, because I know that she is.
