Plus I'm an Army brat...well tuned to moving. I read an article the other day that said money (having it) is the single most indicator of a successful marriage. Seemed unromantic. Respect and friendship are linch pins in my mind...but security matters.<br />Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-27452182711149297802015-02-09T05:04:32.638-05:002015-02-09T05:04:32.638-05:00Excellent examples of the give-and-take in a succe...Excellent examples of the give-and-take in a successful relationship, Diane. My hubby and I will be celebrating our 36th anniversary in April, and when I look back at all that's happened, good and bad, the one thing that sticks out is that we were together.

I guess the true test is that I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
