See, that's what concerns me....I was ugly when I got married....then got uglier. Doesn't say much for Mrs. Mercers taste. She is a chubby chaser, though..... [Reply]

You know actually looking back on our/my marriage (now going on 14 years)that was probably the most fun and exciting time, although we didn't relize it. We were married young as well 21 and 20. Scrounging for change in the couch to go buy dessert, or get a movie. A few extra dollars at the end of the week to go out and splurge at some diner. We made our own fun and enjoyed it until we had the means of doing things with money.
Now that we have been successful in careers and are raising 2 kids part of me misses that time of innocence and non-responiblity (at least not as much as now with business, kids, wife, house, car, etc., etc.) If you work at it together it is actually a wonderful experience and one that builds itself to and even better relationship with your spouse down the road.
