They're composed of maturity, hard work, sacrifice, respect, and love. Expecting pixie dust sold a lot of books for some dweeb in the 90s, and broke a lot of hearts when the dust washed off like the dime-store glitter it was.<br /><br />If your marriage hasn't made you weep with frustration, and wonder if there's even ONE intelligent species on Earth...and in the next moment feel like God Himself has shone a light into your heart...you ain't married.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262893369809401630.post-87592068308052480952013-02-18T15:48:54.164-04:002013-02-18T15:48:54.164-04:00Thank you, and yes, it was disappointing, wasn'...Thank you, and yes, it was disappointing, wasn't it?<br />And the poor doctor, why can't Mrs Crawly wake up?

Yeah, fiction in both movies and books can encourage very unrealistic expectations of love in relationships, much less marriage. I wonder if that's what is wrong with today's world--they're all looking for a "soulmate" who will meet their every need as God only can, and delight them at all times.<br /><br />Congrats on twenty-four years! You are both so adorable. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657583544798915346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262893369809401630.post-1813375373506021302013-02-18T14:39:39.580-04:002013-02-18T14:39:39.580-04:00What a wonderful post, Jennifer!
