Marriage

The more you invest in a marriage

the more valuable it becomes.  amy grant

There we were on August 10, 1974.

Today is our 37th wedding anniversary.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times,

always with the same person.

So take a look at this photo of my Strawn first cousins.
