I disagreed. After divorcing him and marrying my soul mate, I think he was exactly right!

Now I am in love with a man who is a joy to be with most of the time, and always seems to appreciate my presence. If this is work, I want more of it!

Recently I interviewed <a href="http://thismarriagething.com/happily-married-interview-with-maggie-scarf-author-of-september-songs/" rel="nofollow">Maggie Scarf</a> an expert on marriage and intimacy. Her book follows real couples who reveal that personal growth and acceptance of oneself and partner is one of the key factors to having a long, happy marriage. Not to contradict you, but I believe marriage is work. Sometimes, hard work, but can't it be joyous, fun and important work, too? Work that helps me better my soul and that of my mate. That work, I'm honored to do. Thanks and love the cover of your book. Dina Hey, blogging boomer buddy, I couldn’t resist chiming in on marriage at midlife.
