I agree, choosing wisely in the first place is important. There were a lot of earlier women I couldn't see myself actually living with! And yes, luck is vital too.

Especially (as you say) these days with relationships coming and going like taxis. <br /><br />We've been married for 34 years now, and I feel the same. Amazing that we haven't been lost, eaten by wolves, etc, but are still together despite all. And thank the Supreme Being of your choice for that.<br /><br />Or not, since you are an atheist! Perhaps it's simply a matter of being able to choose wisely in the first place, and having the luck to actually meet the right person.Jay at The Depp Effecthttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-27232771010410753252012-02-16T10:01:55.463+00:002012-02-16T10:01:55.463+00:00Speccy - Oh, I'm very cute and cuddly.
