Over The Fence Community Group
A quote from one of our happy Over The Fence members: "Hi JS- Thank you for the welcome message. Do you remember that show Home Improvement and the neighbor Wilson Wilson Jr. who would meet Tim the Tool Man at the fence, but never showed anything but his eyes? He was so funny. This group reminds me of those encounters... you get the wisdom, humor, and support from your DS...

I think that we cannot change anyone, they have to want to
Acceptance, respect, communication, compromise are important
We cannot expect our partner to make us happy
As far as marriage being WORK, well, I do believe it takes effort, though I would not classify that as "hard work"
I see it as a labor of love
That being said, I am divorced, have been in unsuccessful relationships, BUT I have learned much from those experiences. My aunt and uncle have been married for about 40 years, my folks for 52 years. My aunt once told me that marriage is COMPROMISE
