So there you have our personality differences, but in order to better understand the strength of our relationship, you have to appreciate our similarities. Same age,same religion,same socio-economic upbringing, same level of education, and most importantly we both had strong parental role models, who each remained married for over 50 years. Take these similarities and mix them with just enough differences to make it challenging, and you have the ingredients for an exciting and long lasting relationship.
However, the most important ingredient in our lives is that we truly loved and respected each other.We were committed to making our marriage successful, to raising a beautiful family, to support them( not only financially),to enjoy them, and finally to grow old together and ride off into the sunset while enjoying all that life has to offer. Mind you we never verbalized these thoughts constantly-- our day to day actions spoke louder than our words.
