On point when it comes to lasting love. I did not understand what was missing in my first marriage. I saw how my Father treated my Mom in there marriage.

I did not like what I saw but thought it was part of a normal marriage. When it occurred in my first marriage, I just figured we had to work through it. One day 23 years later, my wife said she was not in love with me and had not been for a long time. She wanted a divorce. Although I knew she was not right for me, I was still devastated.

It was only in my second marriage that my wife demonstrated all the elements of a lasting love. It took me a while to realize that I was okay, I was not the defect that my first wife made me out to be.
