[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 1195068, member: 9662"] Back to the thread. I went out last night with an athlete friend who's been feeling down about losing her "mojo" for our sport. Not only am I her personal friend, but was her UPS Guy for the past 2 year bid, which ended in April. I used to stop at her house for lunch and to hang out, whether her husband was there or not. At dinner last night we spoke about our sport, Children, her spouse my EX's and all sorts of other things. She and her husband have been married for 30 years, her youngest has just gone off to college and her mojo is coming back. I had such a pleasant conversation with my friend and there wasn't any risk of her leaving her husband, go figure. She spoke about how hard marriage was, how her husbands job took him out of town (which is where he was, last night), and how she basically raised the children without him around. How they had some difficulty with 2 of their children, but the other 2 were easy to raise. The point I'm trying to make is, they settled in for the long run. They didn't run when life got "too" hard, and it WILL. That right there is Allegiance. You won't always agree, "feel" love for the other person, but settling in and being a partner/team mate, is what makes a marriage. By the way, Love is a choice, not an emotion.
