I look at it this way. I made a promise to my self, my wife my friends and family in public that I would keep my word. No one forced me I came up with the idea all on my own. I compounded that choice when I decided to have kids. Nothing in life worth a dollar ever comes easy, everything I value has come at a price. People give up on themselves too easily in my opinion and it makes it easier to give up on others. They live a compromised life because of it.


I think that is the smartest paragraph I have read here in quite some time. applause

I have been married 18 years today. Only 1 outdoor intercourse adventure that I can remember. smile My wife doesn't really like to camp but will because the kids want to, we have a 13 year old and a 9 year old. She doesn't like to fish but likes to go out in the boat while I fish. She likes shopping, I don't. We both support our kids in all their schooling and their sports endevors. We have had ups and downs through the years and have seen a counselor a time or 2, but in the end we have always talked through issues and worked them out together. Frankly, whether your marriage can be saved is up to BOTH of you. If you both want to save it, it can be done. However, as it takes two to make a marriage, it also usually takes two to destroy a marriage.
