That is what today marks in my Mom's heart. Her and Dad shared their vows before family & friends in an outdoor country wedding at my Great Uncle's farm place 42 years ago today. It was hot. My Mom looked beautiful. And my Dad...much slimmer, and quite handsome :)
I honor them both in my heart today & pray that in another 35 years (whew!), Arlan and I can follow their devotion to one another...in good times & bad times.
So while "controversy" surrounds today's marriages as the average American marriage lasts 8 years* & there seems to be debate about the definition of marriage, I'm thankful for a loving example.
