Good morning!
Last night December 31st really was our Anniversary!
So 37 years ago we started January 1st as our first day of a new life. It seems like yesterday because we have been so happy and best friends as well as husband and wife for all these years!
My best wish for everyone getting married this year is to be as happy as we have been.
That doesn't mean we haven't had rough times, oh believe me we have had our share of hard knocks but we always stuck together through every trial!
In marriage both parties must give 100% none of this 50-50 stuff! And there is no room for selfishness!
And that's the end of my marriage advice! LOL!
