Marriage
halves our griefs,
doubles our joys,
and quadruples our expenses.
~G. K. Chesterton
Forty-two years ago this week, I met a woman who would change my life forever. Two years later, I asked her to marry me, and she said yes. And, while it’s true that before marriage I lived cheaply, I now live life far more richly.
I’ll love you forever, TrudyBlue.

Happy Anniversary.
Whether this is the anniversary of your proposal or your wedding, I send warmest congratulations to Trudie and you. Doug and I celebrate every event in our lives together. We cherish every one that God has gifted us. I bet you celebrate a lot of the highlights, you know, first date, first declaration of love, first kiss, etc.
Sorry, Trudy. There’s a Trudie in my life, too, and I frequently mix your names up!
Actually, it’s the 42nd anniversary of the Day We Met, Gail (sorry if that wasn’t clear). We celebrate every event of our lives together as well.
Congratulations! 💐💐💐
Happy Anniversary.
Thank you, Luisa!

While I thought I had seen all of Chesterton’s quotes, I missed this, one of his most accurate bits of wisdom. Congratulations on the anniversary.

It’s a true blessing when you have a soulmate to share your life with. Celebrate and be glad! 🙂
It is indeed, Nancy. And we do.
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.
Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
(Proverbs 31:10-11)
I am blessed as well!
Delighted to hear that, Joseph!
