I have 34 to go to reach that. i love how honest you are about the ups and downs of marriage. so few people are willing to look at that, and admit it, I think. I find that most women either complain all the time, or pretend things are perfect all the time. Thank you for doing neither. ;)<br /><br />and the picture, and your observations, are priceless.<br /><br />i hope you enjoyed that champagne, and many more glasses in the years to come.painted maypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-65558771085208132932010-02-26T17:34:37.056-05:002010-02-26T17:34:37.056-05:00Congratulations!

I was not married at 20, but I was (due to the relaxed living arrangements at University) co-habiting with the man who would become Husband a few years later. I never actively made a decision about marriage versus the single life - I met H., we lived together and that just seemed right. I have never lived alone, never been self-sufficient and whilst I would never want to change the big aspects of my life, I do wonder from time to time whether I would have been up to doing the whole adult life thing alone. Hopefully I will never find out.Lothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949068764211292370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-82879007762435367942010-02-17T10:34:23.093-05:002010-02-17T10:34:23.093-05:00Congratulations Mary.

As one of those single women whose grass you sometimes think is greener, I have to say I have never thought the grass was greener on the other side. The level of commitment and ability to compromise required to make a marriage work is unfathomable to me. And I congratulate anyone who is able to do it.

It feels to me like the choice to have children changed my life much, much more radically; and that decision I have often second-guessed!<br /><br />I wonder if, once the children have been out of the house for awhile, I'll wish kind of nostalgically for the ability to move about unfettered.Jennifer (ponderosa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17712875613623664156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-16182717662253265482010-02-16T17:01:49.100-05:002010-02-16T17:01:49.100-05:00Oh, Mary, congratulations.
