Yup!

AMEN!    I am afraid many couples focus so much on the wedding that they forget that the marriage will be the important part, with hard work, fights, wonderful times all wrapped up together!

We've been married 30 years!  and have signed on for an additional 30!

 

It really does seem like that! My husband and I eloped, and are so glad that we didn't have a wedding. It would've been sooooo stressful, and marriage is stressful enough. My husband is afraid that I'll come to resent not having a wedding, but I figure we can do it after ten years of marriage as a celebration. But the wedding isn't the important part to me. Being with the man I love and can't live without, and making our relationship work is what's most important to me! I don't need the frills.

Congrats to BOTH of you! We have 17 years "in" tomorrow.

 

YOU know what's important in life, which is WHY your marriage has lasted.

 

Marriage and the committment that comes with it is a mind set. Mature, responsible people KNOW what is important and that things such as big, pricey receptions are just unnecessary "appearances."

 

Congratulations again. I'm sure your children (if you have them) have benefited from your "take" on life and committment. God bless you.
