@obrian-of-the-surface-world,

I checked out your blog – it’s pretty swag! Count on me hangin’ around. If you’re interested, here’s a link to mine. 🙂 I just started so it isn’t especially good or complete.

I think more young people need to talk with grandparents that have had a marriage lasting decades to learn what truly makes it work.

Ooh, good idea! I haven’t written anything beyond crushes for romance yet, since I want to have experienced dating and maybe marriage and pregnancy before I attempt that, but my writing seems to be getting ahead of me, so talking to my grandparents might be a good idea. 😀

As far as 50 years, wow, that is persistence, I must say.  “Love would have to be patient…”

Haha, no kidding. At least they had a much longer lifespan than we do. XD

My wife and I met in person but fell in love through personal letters and long phone conversations.  I had waited and prayed for her all my life before God brought our two worlds together.

That’s pretty cool! I’ve been praying for my possible future husband since I was thirteen-ish, and I plan to continue as long as I live. 🙂

I think a romance like Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” seems more interesting and was not a “love at first sight” thing. (ha, ha)

I’ve only watched the movie version, but I gotta say that I loved Mr. Darcy from the moment he entered that room. I was like, “Yep, that’s my favorite character! He looks so sad.” (I love sad characters). And then I found out he was Mr. Darcy and was really upset ’cause I always thought Mr. Darcy was the villain. XD
