True Love

Quote From: sweller4u

 What is true love? My answer to that is it is someone I can share my  life with who is loving and caring (which can be different), and accepts me as I am with all my flaws as I accept him. In August my husband and I will be married just 2 years. I am 62 and he is 72. He is the most loving person I have ever known. He also is the funniest person I have ever known. We have more fun than a lot of people who have been married a long time. He lost his wife of 46 years two years before we married. I had gotten a divorce in 1975 and had not found the right man to do it again until meeting him. When we married I felt like I was 20 and just starting again. I still do. I tell people that I am still on my honeymoon, and will be for the rest of my life. I am not saying that we do not have problems, as that would be a lie. But I pick and choose the ones that I want to bother me. I don't let the small stuff get in the way of the good stuff we have. Not everyone gets the chance to find the real thing, but I thank God for my husband every day. He saved the best for the last!
Good for you, you have a great attitude and I am happy for you. I have a great marriage as well, My husband i s great and a wonderful father, I have been married for 12 years and yes we certainly have had our issues, but I believe in choosing my battles and some things are just not worth bickering about. I believe in true love and believe that it can last a life time, and it sounds like you have found it, Good luck with everything.
