Dee, sounds like you bring out the best in Larry. That's beautiful. I'm sure you make it easy for him to love this way.

Chatty, Humlan, Dotsie...thanks so much for such sweet remarks. Yes, I know how lucky I am and how blessed my life with Larry is. Today I had lunch with my MIL and 3 SIL's. Two were talking about their frustrations with their hubands (the 3rd not married) and when it came for my time Cindy said, "she never complains because he doesn't have anything to complain about." I never thought about it but she's right as far as my marriage goes. It made me even more thankful for having found Larry. But, I know there are lots of good men and husbands who have wonderful wives and their marriages are good. Dotsie it sounds like you have a wonderful man and Humlan your man is working with you...that's half the battle, I think...having a partner who wants to make a difference and who shows you have your feelings mean something to him.

Dee, I often feel guilty because my husband and I have such a sweet relationship so I know what you mean. I feel awkward when women moan about their spouses because I don't jump in. It's so unfortunate that everyone can't be in a happy marriage. We make one another a priority and it works.

Are your 3 SILs in good relationships? Just wondering if it's something their mom did...

Well until number three, I loved being married and was pretty fortunate to have two good men who loved me...I would marry again even at my age if I found someone kind, considerate and ""FUN"" to be with. His being 'rich' wouldn't turn me off either.
