cuttinstuff's right...it takes two committed people to make a marriage work...we all got character defects that others have to live with (Mrs. Bounty Hunter is a good example of patience and tolerance...I've got LOTS of character defects).
But we have been married 27 years, never had a fight (or even raised our voices at one another), and have never spent a night apart (I slept on the floor in her hospital room all three times for all three kids...), the point being I have always been there for her, and she for me. Total trust is key...if either partner has doubts or suspicions...brother, you have problems.
Trust and love can lead you two into new levels of joy and great life experience...my wife and I share in all things, including woodcutting.
She has her own Stihl ms 260 Pro and ms200T, and will happily take a turn with one of the ms440s. She also runs the log splitter, as she is the only one I trust to operate the ram when it's my paws in there positioning the wood!
She's also darn good with her Kimber 1911 .45, Winchester .30-06, and her Marlin .22 mag varmit rifle.
What I am trying to say here is marriage is a partnership that gets stronger and better when your two separate lives are grafted together...the way a grafted tree can be better and stronger than either of its original stock. "One flesh" the Bible calls it...living together and promoting everything you can to find and strengthen common interests in work, play, time off and time on. Love and Patience...not something we are born with...are the keys to great relationships. Be committed, stay committed, nurture your marriage like the precious gift that it is...protect it from any threat...from within or from without...and "Never Give An Inch".
