My goodness Annelise Lords, you highlighted so much. Thank you for your wonderful wishes.

I'm so glad your marriage lasted a long time too. 39 years is half a lifetime. I get the feeling from your reply that yours is a happy marriage. I like to hold onto that thought, because a lot of long tern relationships, aren't always happy. It's a shame.

Anything worth doing, needs a like action and energy thrown into it.

A marriage, like anything else never works with a 50% effort from one of the 2 people either.

Happy to hear your love storey too, and thank you so much.
