I am happy to hear Wayne that you are happy. Sometimes a relationship feels right(my present marriage) and sometimes it does not(my first marriage). And sometimes it is good to be alone.

Having recently been in Jasper hiking my wife and I met two young German men aged 28 and 35. We met them for a beer and a meal a day later. If we had more daughters I would have been happy to bring them home to introduce them but we only have one spoken for daughter. But they were exceptionally well mannered and moderate. But the fact that they were taking their time before settling down is a good thing.

I say to my daughter that the hard work of marriage starts when children arrive. Raising children involves so much sacrifice. The stability of a good parental relationship helps to raise children in a tough world.

I think this forum gives great opportunities to share the joys and the challenges of life.
Relationships are just one area of life than can certainly impact an individual in a big way and for a long time. Not everybody should have or want children but if you do want children there is nothing better than children raised in a happy family.
