Comment on Why My 2nd Marriage Has Lasted 25 Years by Patty Soriano.
When we marry young, as most of us do, we don’t realize how hard marriage can be. Looking back, I should have taken note watching my mom and dad. When daddy went to Vietnam for a year mom was left behind with two small kids and a new trailer park to run. When dad got out of the air force after 20 years mom and dad built up the park, and later refinished furniture together. Through it all I saw many arguments, but also a lot of love. My husband and I have been married 31 years. Many couples that we knew in our younger years have since divorced. We know of only one couple who are still together. Marriage is tough! It takes work! We’ve been through some hard times, but I thank God that he gave me a man who was willing to work through it all with me. Our wedding was not a very good day. My maid of honor thought I was only showing her my husband’s ring and did not take it to the church with her. We had to use the pastor’s ring in the ceremony. The pastor would not allow photography during the ceremony (will never forgive that!) And I was so nervous I was sick to my stomach,. SO…. for our 25th anniversary we took a cruise to Alaska where I was born and adopted. We were married again by the Captain of the ship. But because my husband never really proposed to me, he got down on one knee and proposed with an aquamarine ring (his birthstone) we had just bought in port. I hope, Barb, that you will also celebrate your love with something very special! Congratulations!

Hi Barb! Oooh, you’ve got a new photo in the corner! I clicked on the email link to see your favorite kitchen gadgets,but it took me to the recipe instead. I love making this…. I usually add bell pepper. I really wanted to see more info about the ground beef thingy. I use a wooden thing….like a wooden spoon but it’s flat and has an edge on it, which helps to break up the large pieces of hamburger. Where did you find this wonderful invention ???
