Interesting question Celtic_Flame. Made me sit back and pounder hmmmm.

Actually my husband chose me. He did the whole wooing gambit; red roses and candle light dinners.

I do think that most woman have an imaginary list that they check off, whether the man is marriage material or not. Being a good provider was at the top of the list for me. I looked for normality, didn't want any ticks, hang ups, alcohol or drug problems. I never liked the silent type, and I love it when men can joke and laugh easily.
We were once at a beach together and sat next to a couple with two small children. They were all laughing and hugging. I remember how I watched him watch them. He then turned to me and said, "That's the kind of father I know I'd be."

For the first time I considered marrying him. It meant leaving my family and America. I was very confused about what I should do. Then I got pregnant, so I thought okay God, you decided for me. We'll be celebrating our 32. wedding anniversary this August.

How long have you been married Dejavu?
