Ok so...I realize I am jumping on my own sword here...but I need to get something off my chest. This is really meant for all the men out there, either engaged, just married, or into marriage several years. The summer before last (actually on my birthday, June 25th), my marriage to Casey was officially over. I am not looking for sorry to hear that Scott. I am merely wanting to pass along some friendly advice...the fact is: I feel I couldve done more to save it. Love is truly always worth fighting for. Never forget the original reason you fell in love in the first place. When your eyes first met. When your heart took off and your head started spinning...weve all been there. And I would go back and do it all over again, even at the risk of losing her all over again. Because two amazing things came out of that marriage - Chloe and Colin Poole, our beautiful children. Some juices are simply worth the squeeze... Although most marriages end in hardship, I have a deep amount of respect and adoration for the woman I fell in love with the summer of 1999, and the woman she has turned into fall of 2013, and will continue to love and cherish her, as the mother of my children, till the day I die. The fact is: I failed at many aspects in my marriage. But from those failures, I realized my mistakes and shortcomings, and it has only made me a stronger Christian and a better father to our children, and with any luck, an even better suited husband, if and when that time comes for me later down the road. If I could offer any advice on marriage - its this: God, Spouse, Kids, in that order. I get that notion is not a popular one...but let me explain: Regardless of your religious affiliation, always place God (or spiritual well-being) first. Just as the Flight Attendants instruct us to place the Oxygen on ourselves, before placing it on the children, if we do not take care of each other as spouses, then we cannot effectively be good parents. To this day, Casey and I remain very close friends. I am even friends with her boyfriend as well. As a matter of fact, I am also still very close to her family. Time can heal ALL wounds. Remember that, and God Bless you and your marriage. May it last till death do you part. Also, keep in mind this article is written from the mans perspective. viralnova/20-marriage-tips/
