When you said I DO, did you really mean it? or was it just a cliche'?

True vow over 13 years of hell and high water, water under the bridge, and all that jazz. Been through the ok's, poorer, and worst. Waiting for the richer.

Been through the sickness, other fleshly weaknesses, and still married. Came close to divorce, but it just wasn't in our vocabulary. We may not show how much we cherish each other, but we still love each other.

I'm sure there is more thick and thin to come in more than one way. ;).

Some of us take it very seriously. My theology of marriage directs me to say 'I do' and 'yes' each and every day I wake up.

I meant it at the time I said I do and meant it for the rest of our lives. I recognized it was not a good marriage after the first year but I stayed and stayed and stayed because of the vow I made.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
