In the very near future, I want to share with you, my dear readers more about me and my life. One thing that I can tell you that I am in love and married to an awesome woman. She is truly my best friend.
Although I feel very confident in giving marital advice, I will ALWAYS take a seat to those who have been happily married much longer than I.
Here is a great story that I came across that deals with the basic question: “Is marriage 50/50?”

“The young lady standing in front of me at the ATM machine was shifting nervously from one foot to the other. She was obviously waiting for her male companion to finish his transaction.
While I’m waiting, I attempt to make light hearted conversation by telling her …”Surely you’re not cashing a check, let him pay your way…that’s what dating is all about…” She looks back at me and smiles with a look in her eyes of age way beyond her years.
She tells me…”It’s sad to say, but it doesn’t work that way anymore, today it’s a fifty-fifty world we live in” and with that she and the guy hop in their car and drive off. I give her a wave and she smiles and waves back, lost in thought.
My wife and I are on our way out of town to an anniversary party given in honor of some friends of ours who have been married for forty years. During the drive I begin to think about the differences our society has gone through in those forty years from then until now.” (more…)
