This was a nicely written piece. Did I tell you that I mentioned your name briefly in my story "Get It Together, Jeez!" Have a great day!

Comment from Terra Dane
Hmmmm. Some points were made by others on this subject and brought in some new ones, and your perspective, untainted by failure, which in itself was refreshing. I appreciate your choice at the end. Is it luck or destiny, though?

Thanks. Maybe a little bit of both luck and destiny. ann
Comment from Joan E.
You provide a great deal of sage advice in your essay.
Along the way, I enjoyed many creative phrases like the following: front row seat; icy alliances; skid and lose their glue; tastiest marriage recipe. The one I liked best of all was the good luck that "soul mates sometimes come in twos."

Ann - You are absolutely right. In a successful marriage, the partners contribute 100/100 and not 50/50. If more couples would understand that, there would be less divorces. Well-written and good luck in the contest. Charlie.

I wouldn't have known you wrote this in a short amount of time. It seems well thought out (maybe over the years) and flows well. Your thoughts are laid out in an order that reads well. I agree with your philosophy and so it works for me. Good luck in the contest.

Well written. I agree with you, luck is most important in finding a lasting relationship. I love the wording here, "Faith is a crucial ingredient in the tastiest marriage recipe."

Luck does have a lot to do with it. I was transferred, temporarily, to another office to help with work. My future husband's desk was right in front of mine. We were both "needy." It worked.
Your argument is well organized and supported. Even admitting that you've had no experience at a failed marriage is not a negative. In fact, it allows you to speak with experience, about what is required to make things work.
As always, well done.

Thanks again! Satisfying someone else's "needs" is so often the answer to one's own. I appreciate your time in reading and, more than that, in sharing your thoughts. ann

I am completely dumb founded by your clarity. I wish I could verbalize how I feel on the subject of marriage but it is fleeting for me, because I married a person I didn't love and also for the wrong reasons. You made some really good points in this and you also showed how to make it work rather than how it doesn't although you touched on those too. I never realized how many brilliant writers are here, thanks for sharing your success when it comes to finding someone to love.

Comment from MJMuraco
Your essay was very well done. There is an element of luck in meeting the right person. It is true, that we must respect the other person and give them personal space. We can't expect someone else to fulfill our happiness. We have to like ourselves and then share with our spouse.
