"Women marry men hoping they'll change; men marry women hoping that they never will." ~Albert Einstein

Are you the same woman he married? Your husband, I meant, not Einstein. Change is inevitable but have those changes had a positive or negative impact on your marital relationship?

I can't say that all of my personal changes were positive but recognizing that fact helped me turn this around. I just celebrated my 53rd birthday. Gee, that makes me sound old. Yet, I feel young all over again and a little wiser to boot!
