In the beginning (of the project), says (Jason) Miller, the two bachelors would ask lengthy, convoluted questions that reflected their own over-thought, 20-something preoccupations. And the answer would be something like “I don’t know what you just asked me, but I love her.”
“…when you share your life with someone, you’re going to be uncomfortable some of the time, and I don’t know if your generation can put up with that.”
“There were three interviews in a row where they used the same word: stick-to-itiveness,” Miller says. “It takes the perspective of a whole lifetime to understand that.”

Bowden,
I just celebrated 21 years with my perfect, beautiful bride. I have learned the secret to a successful marriage. we discuss everything thoroughly, then do whatever it is that she wants.
Seriously, when I think of my wife, the words of Solomon come to mind, “This is my beloved; this is my friend.”
I cannot imagine not being in this marriage. The key to any marriage is self-denial … placing the needs of your spouse and family ahead of your own. You will find, when done biblically, that your spouse will reciprocate.
The key to any marriage is self-denial. Well said.
If you want a successful marriage
That fills up your loving cup
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
And whenever you’re right, SHUT UP!
That has worked for 48 years, as of yesterday.
Bob,
Congrats!
Wow. 48 years is stellar in this day and age. Congratulations Bob.

Thanks, guys. Peg and I made a deal early on that whoever asked for a divorce would have to take the kids. By the time they were gone, we were too far gone for anybody else to want either of us.
