Kinda like what I told a driller in Alberta years ago. Wondered why I didn’t hit in girl who was super friendly. I said “number one I’m married. Number two she is no better looking than my wife. Number three she doesn’t own the other half of my stuff”

Maybe she was hoping to?

[QUOTE=woodland;517722]My FIL told me when I asked for his “permission” to marry that there is “no returns………… period”. So far so good😎

My pastor told us in a marriage class that his wife and him made a deal that divorce isn’t an option ………… murder maybe though😉. Says it helps by knowing that leaving isn’t an option so they need to figure a solution to whatever problems comes their way.

I got way too much time and effort tied up in this marriage…………….. can’t imagine starting over. 🍀


I am very blessed, to have my wonderful partner [Sept 3, 1979] who is almost perfect... like me*... and is forgiving and loving!

"Proverbs 31:10-31

10
[3] A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
10:[3] Verses 10-31 are an acrostic, each verse beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet.]

11
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

12
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

13
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

14
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

15
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.

16
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

18
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.

19
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

21
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

26
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

29
"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."

30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."

Many Blessings accrue to our farm family...much comes from the love and hard work of our wonderful wives!

Cheers

If the years can mellow the hot blood with forgiveness and a humble Spirit... Life can be appreciated... the grandchildren enjoyed [some may say 'spoiled' but really Loved with passion]...

Now how an o'le good fashioned 'argument' is no longer 'appropriate' ... memories of Dad [God rest his Soul] getting the last 'word' in the argument meant we got to clean up the broken glass from the back door slamming... When tempers flared... forgiveness was and is the medicine of healing!

Cheers

Enjoy life Tom.

I heard Beth say "ALL the P and half the land..." probably half $/pension too, but NOT the debt?
