I am making sure that i'll have the 4th of July off this year.My parents would've been married for 42 years.That's a blessing.You don't see marriages last that long anymore.I would rather read about the 40,50+ years anniversaries,than to see who recently got engaged or married.
This year it will be hard for Mom,but she will have us by her side that whole day.
Through February,I saw my Mom staying in the hospital with my Dad.She was with him everyday up to when he died.She watched him take his last breath.

In their marriage they had arguments and such.I lost my faith in marriages because of that,and because of my own marriage not working out.
But watching her with him renewed my faith in marriages working out.
In that Promise Ceremony i made to God this year,i told God You're in control of my life.You come first and always will,and if i am meant to marry again,You're going have to send him to me,because i wasn't doing to good on my own.
I know there are good men out there.
God comes first.

I personally wouldn t wait for God to send someone to me. I would be active in doing something about it. if my marriage didn t work out i would look at myself and see what part i played in the break up. god s not going to do that for me.

It is good to remain open to new and different perspectives as they come to us in life - when you close yourself off to that I feel you begin to die a bit quicker.

Best wishes

I know what went wrong in my marriage.
My ex husband was abusive and i left him.
What went wrong on my part was i thought i could change him.
We got married on July 18 1994.Divorce was finalized on Oct 25 1995.

I have forgiven him after all these years.
Two best blessings from that marriage are Skyler and Dallas.

You will be looking at a lot of things differently now, which is a blessing in disguise.

no doubt

Best wishes to you!

i think there is too much pressure to be married!

like there is something wrong when youve passd 30 and still single!

I am in no hurry to get married.I enjoy my freedom.Skyler is almost 16.Dallas is 14.My sons are top priority over any man now.When they are grown and doing their own thing,that's when i'll start dating again.

But i would rather be scuba diving than dating-less pressure.(emotional pressure)
