The first time I saw my future spouse:

He says: “I was immediately in love. It was two years before our first date, though. I just knew she was out of my league.”

She says: “He was probably on the couch at my sister’s house. I thought he was cute but it was just a quick nice to meet you and then I went on my way.”

On our wedding day:

He says: “I was in a constant panic attack. My parents had just gone through a nasty divorce, and I was scared of that commitment. I was scared I would lose her. But after it was over it was so much fun.”

She says: “I didn’t have any doubts that I was headed in the right direction. I was just calm and pretty excited.”

My advice for a long happy marriage:

He says: “Pre-marriage counseling and post-marriage counseling. And just never give up.”

She says: “Pray. You have to learn to talk to each other.”
