Nice, Manuel. Old pictures are good. I'm old enough to have most of my pictures existing as old hard copies and Polaroids from the 2000s on back. Many of those memories are still on old cell phones from 2015 and back to the early 80s when I moved out on my own. I wonder how many adults, 21 and over even know what a Polaroid is! Sometimes I go through all those old pictures from the 80s and 90s and get lost for hours as these old stills seem to grab me and fling me back to those very days, stirring my forgotten memories. I always say I'm going to have them all digitized and I never get around to it. I better hurry or my future grandchildren may be doing it for me! (if Jesus tarries, of course)

PS.... you better be takin' her out for a romantic supper or picnic (or camping).... no prepping, no cooking...no dishes....no kids (sorry -NOT SORRY-wee ones.... if Mom & Dad didn't get together...you wouldn't be here, so BEHAVE! LOVE BROUGHT YOU HERE... and their love will sustain you.)

Manuel... PLAN SOMETHING SPECTACLUAR FOR HER. We may not many more times to experience the freedom we have this moment. Trust and OBEY the Lord.... your steps are counted... and so are the ...fewer hairs on your head!

Awww I appreciate husbands like you. And a marriage of love and adventure! Most young beautiful couples settle in and begin building a regular life which is perfectly fine and works for the 99%. That rare 1% who are adventurers have such a unique spirit imho. Having your wife with you as your traveling partner is so cool! Congratulations on your beautiful marriage! May God bless you both. 🙏🏻❤️

Yeah, Manuel is one of the few goodun's today. But if I may add to your comment as one who speaks his mind, "Most young beautiful couples settle in and begin building a regular life". IMHO This is true enough however, in this society of two working parents, they soon get bored and infidelity creeps in decapitating the marriage. There isn't even any hesitation to separate and divorce as there was in the 50s and 60s.

Promiscuity and divorce, even adultery are now socially accepted and it all began happening after the feminist movement of the 60s when women entered the workforce, burning their bras, hating the fact that God made them a woman and rebelled against everything that God created women to do. Just look at the old sitcom "All in the Family". That show was propaganda for the feminist movement (and most other liberal ideology) and used humor to ingrain it into the psyche of the modern family. Gloria was the quintessential feminist and spokeswoman for the feminist movement which Norman Lear, producer of the show helped solidify into the heart of modern society.

It was no less than rebellion against God the Creator. He made them as a "helpmeet", That means stay at home and school the children, take care of all household and family matters thus holding the home together! Not to go out into the workforce taking half the jobs which men should be doing! The structure of the family with the stay at home mom caved in and the men allowed it to happen. The feminist movement was THE stepping stone to the gender madness we see today and was a huge victory for satan in the spiritual war that's been going on since the time of Nimrod.

Call me old fashioned or a throwback but I am a true believer in Jesus Christ and the Bible, born again and I walk with God daily. I can see with my eyes the whole gender "equality" movement is a complete obfuscation of nature and was perpetrated by satan himself and is backward just like the rest of this world. Men and women can NEVER be equal because God made them DIFFERENT. Just look at the picture of Manuel and his beautiful wife for proof. Woman are just as important as men for the family structure set up by God Almighty. Society has been deluded into believing that women can do anything that men can do and that simply isn't true!

I believe 50% or more of marriages now end in divorce after 4 years, 75% after 7 years but you can check me on those rough figures. Nevertheless, it was the destruction of the family unit and we see the results in a society gone insane. It's harsh but nonetheless reality and most people living day to day in this present societal madness refuse to see it as it is!

Actually, I was more telling Manuel I appreciated his comment on his wife & how sweet it was to read a husband still crazy in love with his wife.

Expand full comment

Probably, yes. But I have a big mouth. I hope I didn't offend you.

Expand full comment

Haha no, you didn't offend me. And it wasn't probably, my express intention was simply to show appreciation to a husband still crazy in love with his wife. I understand your comment to me. It was through and yes, probably most of your observations are true maybe even personal experience I don't know. But honestly had nothing to do with the intent of my compliment to Manuel. Really and truly. I try to keep my comments short believe it or not. Most don't want to read long comments. But I'm a reader. So, no, no harm no foul. Have an excellent day!

I can't write a short comment when dealing with the folly of this world, only when responding to a specific subject. I know most don't like to read long comments so I guess most people don't read mine. That's ok, I write to the minority that do like to read. Like you. Thanks, Kathryn!
