My mother taught me that being in love is ephemeral. She told me a fiery love cannot and does not last. Boy was she right!
She taught me that looks are fleeting and the hot girl/boy at 21, isn't gonna be so hot at 61.
She taught me that real friendship, trust and respect will outlast love. She taught me the key to a successful marriage is true friendship, not love.
She taught me that real love is loving your partner’s nastiness, not their perfections.
Many of my friends married the person they were “in love” with only to find that burning love fade.
I'm blessed to be able to say that thanks to my mother’s sound advice, I love my wife more today than I did yesterday.
Always down with my morning stank!
