Glad they've opened their eyes; hope she opens hers before it's too late.

Perfect, Guy.
I did not get married until I was in my mid 30's...any number of reasons but mainly the disillusionment of so many marriages of people I knew, the weddings I was a part of in the late 70's and 80's spooked me. I was also a bit of a rolling stone.
That and the military is hard on marriages...the demands of service either helps form a stronger bond or takes marriages apart like a Walmart tuxedo.
So far so good...33 years and I have only been shot twice.
