High school sweethearts here too. Dated 7 years (I grew up surrounded by divorce and was afraid of marriage) married going on 8 years. We met in Jr High and she HATED me cause I picked on her and now she LOVES me cause I pick on her.
I wish we would've married sooner, but it 2003 when I met Christ and actually started to learn what it takes to stay married. We have an 18 month old son and to be honest he's the source of most the friction between us but we couldn't love him anymore either.
To sum it up, yup we're in love.
Are you aware that there is no difference in the divorce rate between the God Loving Christains and us Heathens? True, the divorce rate is the same with both.
I think it's great to see people in love with their spouse. It's a requirement for living a long healthy life with the same person. However, the reality of life is because you are in love with your spouse now does not mean you will still be in that same emotional state this time next year. Nor does it mean your spouse will feel the emotional bond with you a year or two down the road either. Making life changing decisions based on emotions rarely turn out well, in my view!
Facing reality is a real beetch at times and the facts seem to be that 50% of you who are deeply in love today will not remain with your current mate for life. How many of you are on your second, third, forth marriage. If so, there is a pattern of bad choices. Remember my old signature line "Choice, not chance determines your destiny"?
I remember what my daddy told me when I was young, deeply in love/lust with the woman of my dreams "Son, you don't know a woman until you divorce her"! He was absolutely correct!
Flip a coin, heads you win, tails you loose! Reality my friends, Reality!
