I have made no secret about the fact that when I was younger and was making the marriage decision, I wasn't especially careful, prayerful or smart. Yes, I was somewhat prayerful, but mostly, I was just head over heels in love. And that's how I chose Mark.
Fortunately for me, I was also lucky and probably a better descriptive word would be blessed. He is calm, funny, smart, loving, tolerant and patient (seriously, if you know me, that is a requirement) and best of all, he loves me. He is a great husband, a wonderful father and now a fabulous grandpa.
And I think this says it all. We do irritate the heck out of each other at times, but the love we share is stronger than the irritation. Romantic, huh?
He's a keeper!

Thanks Jan! I love that you can see things as they really are and still love each other. THAT is true love!
You are a smart cookie and a wonderful example to me. :)
Thank you for your honest admissions in this piece and for your recognition of the hand of Christ guiding your life anyway. I have made a very concerted effort to do what is right, even if it conflicts with what I would like to be right.
I am very very happy to hear that you are still married and happily so. It really is a team effort.
Hopefully some day a great woman will fall head over heels in love with me too.
