[Hildy]

Actually I was 38 when I got married. I waited for the right person. I didn't marry someone hoping he'd change into someone else like so many women do. And I didn't say I was an authority on families with children..but I do know something about maintaining a loving relationship with your spouse.

But here comes the personal attacks...I'm surprised it took this long. People always get angry when you hold a mirror up to them. BTW, I don't want to get into a personal fight with you. We all have our personal experiences to draw on. All I'm saying is that I know that what I do works...and I'm happy, I know alot of unhappy people and the common thread amongst them is that they don't realize the only thing they have control over is their own behavior and their own choices. And there's nothing wrong with doing something just because it will make someone else happy. You couldn't POSSIBLY disagree with that, right?

Hildy I have one of the best marriages I have ever known of. I do things for my husband because I want to, not because he expects anything from me. I don’t need you holding a mirror to me on anything - I wouldn’t trade my life with my wonderful husband and my children for anyone or anything.
