my parents celebrated their 25th the same year tony and i got married. so now 21 for us, it'll be 46 for them.
they have a good marriage. the exact opposite would be tony's parents. they've been married as long--and have been miserable together the whole time. they say misery loves company, so they must love each other a lot. so un-fun to be around.

i'm in the same type boat as packer--we are each others best friend. it's amazing to me how many people treat their spouse poorly, with little respect-they treat a total stranger better! this is the person you supposedly want to spend your life with, how can you not treat them the BEST?! someone asked me the other day about tony....i know what it was, we just bought a carport so we could clear out the garage. we both had to park in the driveway, since the garage was full of bass boat, wheelers and lawn mowers. guy at work said he wouldn't have dared even ask to park his boat in their garage-that's his WIFE'S SPOT. single car garage....
i told him i treat tony right, and he does the same for me. yeah, sometimes one of you has to give--much of the time we're both offering to BE that one! i'd do anything for him and he knows it. don't get me wrong, i don't wait on him hand and foot. it's a shame that some think that giving to someone somehow equates to being their maid or servant. i shake my head when i hear people say 'i don't need a man/woman to take care of me'. they're looking at it the wrong way. then they find someone, and treat them like an accessory to wear when they choose, or leave at home when they don't!
