23 Year Anniversary

You know here in Alabama... After all those years of living with your sister... When you marry her , you already know each other pretty well.
I think that and the fact that you get cheaper car insurance attributes to a lower divorce rate here.

I love my wife and she's one of the most loved and respected people in our circle of friends. She is a hundred percent genuine. She prays for God to protect children everyday.

We have a lot of fun... have for 26 years.... She's my best friend and toughest critic... biggest fan and has been devoted and faithful.

I have a lot of fun messing with her... She told me one time she works very hard at just being normal... I told her it's not normal to have to do that.

What are my real feelings about marriage? First of all it's a really really good thing
... And secondly our country needs to get away from extended adolescence and young people need to start building a life together at an earlier age and grow up faster even if it means growing up together
.. this was common 50 years ago and today we I have 18 year old boys running around that have never pumped their own gas... I ran into a guy the other day his college-age son didn't know how to use a can opener. I don't care how you look at it... That's failing your children and those children are likely going to have a hard time with real life. One reason I say this is I am an employer... I don't want a guy in his twenties that acts like he's in his teens and I don't want a guy in his thirties that still behaves like he's in his twenties.... By the time a guy hits his thirties he should start to become accomplished in his vocation and well on his way to his best earning years... And what that means to the rest of the world is this guy has something to contribute.

Somebody that's in their 30s shouldn't be trying to figure out how to get to work on time.... That I'll need to get figured out about 17 or 18 , even if it means working at Publix or at a McDonald's.

I know this is a Jeep forum and I'm going to make a stretch and say this... You show me a guy that drives a Jeep ... If he can afford it as a toy he's doing good.... And most people in a jeep have the mentality that they're going to get there and get back and they know how to fix the thing if it breaks. That's my guy right there.



Marriage takes a hundred percent commitment from both people, it takes sacrifice and it takes discipline... It takes a lot of work... And it can reward you with a lifetime of good.

Congratulations Hog , you have a beautiful family and I'm very proud to call you and your awesome wife my friends.
Thx buddy👍🏻
 
We are going on 25 years. We met at 18 when I transferred to the same college and ended up on the same floor. The real funny thing is, we went to the same high school for 3 years ( I am a year older) and did not even recognize each other or ever met there. I went for her roommate first and she made me pay by waiting a year until we finally went out. I still think I got the better end of this deal, not sure why she ever went out with me in the first place!
