38th Marriage Anniversary today

It takes two people to deliver this kind of love and congradulations to you and your wife on making the union work.

I know a lot of people in the local Indian/Pakistani community, some of their marriages worked and some failed.

I have an immigrant friend, from India, who took me aside to ask me how his daughter(8 years old) was going to meet a husband. Their wedding was arranged but because they are professionals and they no longer have family with ties in India and feel a lose for their daughter and son. They were really interested in how my wife and I had met, so they could assist their daughter in finding a husband as she grows older. I told them just to leave the kids alone and once they hit college, they will determine their mates.... didn't want to tell them about high school, skipped right over that one - kept it on a professional level.

I think the introduction from within a cultural acceptance is one way in which a couple can find mutual love but I also think the hard work of the Western male in pursuit of a female has its underlying neanderthal rewards..... ugh! (25 years of caveman dwelling for my wife and myself, maybe I'll shave my back tonight...ugh)
