I don't understand divorce. Simply, I met my husband at fourteen, and we have been together every day minus a few business trips. He went to Singapore once for 6 weeks, and I thought I'd die. I went to Guatemala for 2 1/2 weeks once, and we were both miserable.
We are best friends. If he needs something, I fly to get it. If I need something, he does the same. We are one.
The problem with a relationship like we have is if one of us dies the other will follow shortly. We've discussed it, and tried to make plans, but the horror of it, just does us in.
I hope and pray for each of you to have a love that is based first of friendship. My husband and I don't argue. We discuss a problem together and fix it as best we can. We don't blame the other for our problems. Our problems are both of ours and we face them together.
I don't think we're the usual couple. I know I'm blessed to have him. He's better than I, but he'd argue that point to the death. He thinks he got the better deal. Our three children who are married are married to the same type of people.
I think with the divorce rate of 50% this is an important subject. Marriage is, to me, "till death due us part."
He dies and please God, take me soon. We can't be apart.

I met my soon to be husband much later in life and he is a lot older than I am. I know that he will most likely pass before I do. Still, like you, it terrifies me. It sounds sappy, but I do feel like the real Gwen wasn't born until we met. There are times that he accuses me of not taking care of my health so that I will follow him sooner. He is joking, but there is a bit of truth in it.
Godspeed!
