this reasoning you have about marriage is based on two married parents that hated each other.. marriage is a wonderful thing between two people who have love and patience... i would not change it for anything...
My real dad was ex navy and a super badass in his own eyes. raving lunatic drunk who dragged my mother down main street smiths falls, ontario, canada when she was 6 mths pregnant with me.
At this time she escaped back to saskatchewan and had to spend the last 3 mths of her pregnancy in hospital to recover from the beating and to make sure I did not auto abort. I also had to spend the first month of my life in the hospital due to complications.
After I was born my mother with the help of my grandparents was able to complete 6 years of university education and become a teacher. My mother was a fantastic person. She passed away at the age of 54 years old due to a massive heart attack. Her's was the first funeral I ever preached.
I met my real dad for the first time when I was 7 I still remember it and the addidas 3 stripe tennis shoes he bought me. Next time I met him was when they sent me out to powell river, bc to live with him for the summer of my 12 year(what a summer hippie festival and all). Shall we say it was a most interesting summer. The time when I was first introduced to some very very interesting life changing things.
The next person my mother married was her long time boyfriend Dale, and again she chose the wrong person. He was a heavy drinker who also had a bad ass temper. I remember wearing an orange velour suit to the wedding I was 6 or 7 at the time. When it came to the point that Dale acted out in fits of rage going so far as to whip us with an electric extension cord amongst other things, that was the end of the marriage. When I reached the age of 13 I was a different person having spent time with my real dad and dale was not so vicious when I threatened him with a weapon.
My mother never remarried.
I totally decided that if I ever got married that I would not be either my father's son or my step father's son. I would the rather lift up a standard of what I think a husband and father should be, for in my books it is way better to be a standard bearer than a statisic wearer.
I have been married to my first wife since april 6, 1996. We have 7 kids and 1 to come in 4 weeks. While people have a hard time believing what I am about to say, it is the truth.
Rachelle and I have never had a fight, arguement or even a disagreeance in the time we have been married. We both believe in the policy of transparancy in all regards!!! It has served us well and makes for a totally great relationship. To me the definitive of love is TO CARE MORE FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAN YOU DO FOR YOURSELF!!

My reasoning for talking openly about it is to show people that bad situations and happenings need not make you to be a product of such things. You have power as a human being to rise above. I really think people need to see that you can go through a %^&storm and not get soaked!!!!

To true to true there must be a venue for speaking of such things lest a gasket blow in another area.

yes everyone and every circumstance is different.. but don't let what happen to someone else make the mold for you... and your future.Aqua Sanctuary;3594593; said:
