RedShoe

not to sound... I don't know, "old fashioned," but the majority of the people I know are either all still married or have parents that are still married.

I only know a handful of divorced people. Mrs. RedShoe's grandparents (in Japan - then moved to Maui before it was a state) were arranged in Maui. They lived together as a happily married couple for well over 50 years before they both passed of old age. They had 5 kids, and all of them (all wll into their 60's now) are still happily married (excpet one which has never married)

My parents, my grandparents.... all still married.

I seriously believe that if you grow up in an environmet where there is constant communication, and a child can learn to work thru difficult times, than a marriage will survive. I think that if a child sees his parents give up on each other that it will be easier for him (or her) to call it quits in their own relationships later in life.

Mrs. RedShoe and I are closer to each other than we ever imagined we would be.

Sorry Cheshire, but that's the truth, so you can stop calling me now.
