I rushed into a marriage at 20 years old to a man I had known on the Internet for 3 months. It was the single, most foolish decision I had ever made. My parents and friends disapproved, but I was bullheaded and wanted an "adventure." After 4 years of marriage to this alcoholic mean man (no kids, thank goodness) I had my "aha Dr Laura" moment. "How do I want to live between now and dead?" I packed up my car with 3 suitcases and drove 1500 miles to move back in with my parents and get back on my feet.
Nine years later, I married a true-blue man who I know beyond a shadow of a doubt will defend me, care for me, support me, and give me beautiful babies! This time, I WAITED for him. I want to tell your listeners to enjoy the waiting process. I had many wonderful experiences with just me and my friends and family, and those helped develop my character and personality, without rushing into finding another man to fulfill my needs. When we did meet and finally marry, we had the most romantic and heartfelt wedding in my parent's country yard with 50 of our closest friends and family.
Thank you Dr. Laura for helping women like myself raise the bar on respecting ourselves. I pray that your nagging little voice NEVER leaves my head and that I will always treat my gem of a husband with the proper care and feeding he so deserves. Please never ever stop preaching your message of how to REALLY take care of a man!
