Not easy for a child of the 60's

Being There

Your partner, your wife to whom you have pledged a lifetime commitment, needs to know you are there.  She needs a feeling of security.  She wants to know that you meant what you said about being together in sickness and in health.  Women need, want, and deserve a feeling of security.  You are responsible for letting her know and feel that you’ll be with her today, tomorrow, and forever.

Here we are today, 36 years of marriage later.  It was less than easy, but has been steady, up hill, growing, maturing and becoming what God had intended, including being a loving, faithful husband.  That was foreign territory to a love child of the 60’s, but sweeter and sweeter as the years went by.  It was only through this long, often painful, process that I fully understood the meaning of marriage vows, the sacred nature of a marriage, and its importance as the cornerstone, the indispensable and fundamental foundation of civilization as we know it
