Does anyone see polarity in your posts besides me?

Yes. Gary is very confused on this subject.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

It is his nature to insert personal attacks with his postings......
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.

You seem rather confused about the purpose and meaning of marriage OD

Go back and read my posts and then try to frame a specific question instead of just an emotional outburst

Yikes!!! I was not being emotional. You keep trying to deflect when you know you are hard pressed to support your POV. You have made me laugh so much today though. So...thank you.

You're welcome, I'm glad I didn't "error" any more!

Now are you going to tell us what you have learned from your marital experiences and what advice you would give to a couple who are considering marriage?

I am honored to "give advice" about relationships all the time. To my kids.

Gary, I would tell anyone that love is not reason enough to marry. Love is not even reason enough to live together. Many loves would not endure the day to day challenges that making one life brings. Love as long as there is love but to say it is a forever love, it must be unique. There must be shared respect for each other, and there must be a healthy letting go, so that though the two are one, EACH ONE can flourish as individuals. And come together to celebrate each other's experiences. Letting go requires respect, trust and a genuine interest in the individuality of the mate. To want to absorb another's identity by your love is truly criminal and only an arrogant and controlling person would even want to do such a thing.

Love is a foundation, but it is not necessary to believe that it is to build a home. I will not attempt to ever do that on a lite love again. I am holding out for the love of a lifetime.

I believe everyone can be loved, and though we all have some kind of character flaws, one must know what they are and if they can actually find that flaw endearing to witness it daily. It is not a matter of tolerating it. One must actually embrace it as an opportunity to love the person even more, for it is a touchpoint of their humanity.

I would strongly advise getting to know the other person. When you think you know them well enough to commit to them, wait at least another year. And I would say to also see that person in many scenarios. And for goodness sake, see how they live and where they live, get to know their family and friends.

And if you love someone who lives a distance from you, don't try to overcome the distance at the expense of time.

I have written much about love and about marriage, and could go on and on here, but maybe this is enough for now Gary.

As an aside : And so ya know Gary, if no one else ever did use the word 'error' as a verb, it is high time they start!
