I've been listening to you for over five years. I'm 54 now, and when I was 19, I married my first husband. He ran away with another woman and we divorced. I've learned from you now not to marry when you're so young. I remarried on the rebound and thought I could change a drug abuser and rehabilitate him. One year later, we divorced. Lesson learned from you now: you can't change anyone. I remarried AGAIN and failed to talk with him about his thoughts on children. I don't have any, but he wanted a family, and after 10 years it became more important to him, so I let him out of the marriage, so he still had time to fulfill his dreams. Lesson learned from you now: do pre-marital counseling to talk about each other's expectations.
The good news is I finally have gotten it right. Since listening to you, I found my current husband and have made SURE I follow your rules. Neither of us has kids, but I finally figured out with your help, how to act right. We have a wonderful life, and I treat him the way "my man" is supposed to be treated. When I first listened to you, I used to roll my eyes at what you said, but after putting it into action and finding out it really does work, I'm amazed and very grateful. I wish I would have found you earlier because I could have saved myself a lot of mistakes. My parents gave me no guidance, and I was an only child, so I had to figure this all out on my own. The next 30 years are going to be wonderful. I finally got it right with your help.
