Lessons Learned

Here are a few things that my wife has taught me over the past twenty-one years that we've been married:

--Whether the times in my life are good or bad, having someone I care for (and who cares for me) to share them with is more important than the experiences themselves.

--I do have interesting things to say that are worth listening to (because she listens to me).

--Close, enduring relationships are very important to have.

--It’s more important to express yourself honestly than to tailor yourself to fit the prevailing opinions.

--The world can be a wonderful place; why not reach out and take part in it?

--Things that are worthwhile are worth maintaining.

--Listening in a relationship is more important than talking.

--Differences between couples can serve to complement one with the other to make a stronger union.

--Similarities between couples can strengthen the bonds of communication and intimacy.

--A tender touch means a great deal.

--My life must show some degree of significance in order that a woman with such outer and inner beauty would love and care for me the way she has.

--Above all, she has taught me that which is truly beautiful, gracious, and enduring: our life together (for the past twenty-one years)!!
