Ever Afters

It amazes me how some couples manage to stay together. i have friends who are still very much in love with their spouses years after they've exchanged "i dos". i also have a friend who will soon tie the knot with one of the kindest men i've ever met [and who i'd like to clone soon as the french have perfected the technique]. i have cousins who have found their perfect match and are also happily married. makes me think there are happy ever afters after all! and i say this without any cynicism----for once, haha!
i think staying together is something short of a miracle, because i have a fairly good idea of the compromises one needs to do to make a relationship last---and those compromises are not at all easy to make.
so it's truly good to see happy endings.
