I don’t think I gained your wisdom about marriage at your age, Hoang, but, after almost 41 years of marriage, I do agree that friendship is the strongest basis for a lasting union. You and your husband seem to have it down. Since you’re a writer, I imagine there are many memorable days as well as forgettable ones!

"I love the idea that marriage is just beginning of a story" yes!

I met my wife when she was only 15, and I was 18. After a few years we married in 1971. I didn't believe in marriage so I always new that divorce was an option. Every day I ask myself, do I want to be married today? The answer so far, after more that 50 years, is YES! I love my wife with all my ... everything, soul, heart, mind, et al.

I don't know if I am going to be married in the future, but one thing I know: I love my marriage now.
