In this day and age, how does anyone stay married long enough to celebrate a 25 year anniversary? Love, acceptance, negotiation, compromise, laughter, commitment, fun, surprise, honesty and mission are the first words that come to mind. The descriptors and cliches can't in any way do justice to the fact that I just wouldn't have wanted to attack life without her. We both stumbled into adulthood but our pairing created a formidable partnership.

It is the type of relationship where both of us have had to catch up with the other as we continue to grow (no doubt, I've done more of the catching). We are very aware of the diversity in the strengths we each bring to our relationship and make every attempt to use them wisely. The word for that is compliment. It has a number of definitions and they all apply.
