In my first 25 yr. marriage, my spouse
was one yr. older than I.
Now on my 2nd marriage of 5 yrs with
my husband 11 yrs. older than I.
What attracted me to him was when
I spotted him at a meeting when he
walked pass me tall, like he was sure
of himself and had a purpose.
His wife of 35 yrs. who passed away
of illness was close to his age.
I think he was happy I found interest
in him, but he wasn't sure I would like
the age difference. However, as we courted
and talked, his age never seemed to matter
to me. His wisdom and experiences was a
big factor.
And seeing him the first time with a fine
looking silver/gray tone ponytail hanging
below his shoulders made me wonder if
he played in a band or rode a motorcycle.
Just nice looking and in charge, secured.
5 yrs. later and we still mesh good together
knowing what matters the most in our marriage.
Sobriety, Faith, riding our Harley together
as one, enjoying simplicity, no stress.
A marriage of two brought together by
the Man Upstairs. A gift in recovery.
