Raising Children Has Made Me More Patient

The Best Advice I've Ever Been Given Is Being Handed A Bible. That's The Blueprint For Marriage That We Go By, And That's What Our Marriage Is Grounded In. We Also Have Other Married Couples Who Are Examples In Our Lives. My Parents Have Been Married Over 40 Years, And Both Sets Of Grandparents For Over 65 Years.
