You kids turned out pretty well. What more can we ask ? Always knew that Kev was a most discerning fellow :=)

But it's a good point. I have a (single) friend who is pleasantly surprised/relieved when she meets married couples who are nice to and about each other and who still say 'please' and 'thank you' to their spouse. She reckons that's a very good sign. You’re dating yourself! But it’s a good point.

It's sound advice worldwide. Unfortunately, I couldn't look at George's father, because he was already, um, departed. But he could look at my mother, who apparently passed muster just as yours did. I would say to the young kids taking the plunge, to go for it. Try not to take yourselves too seriously, and attempt to find some humor in every situation, even the trying ones. Otherwise you'll implode. Not that we're perfect by any means, but it's worked for us for 38 years! My mother said the same thing! It’s sound advice worldwide.
