I remember the night my Father-In-Law to be and I went out for that “talk” over coffee. He asked me two questions. First, did I love his daughter. Second, can I support his daughter. The answer to the first was yes, with all my heart. The answer to the second was also yes. That was over a half century ago. We will be married 51 years in April. (April 15th to be exact).
Congratulations on 51!!!!! My 2 questions were do you love her more than anything else and would you lay down your life to protect her? Both answers were a resounding yes!
Sounds exactly like the speech I got from my Father-In-Law to be. Our marriage has lasted fifty six years.
