"Before marriage, man is incomplete; after marriage, he is __________. " Reference unknown
All kidding aside -
God knew exactly what he was doing when he paired me with Mrs. Quipper at the altar of Christ Lutheran Church on May 25, 1991. After fifteen years of marriage and plenty of first-hand experience, it is easy to understand why she is my lifelong, committed soulmate, and that no one else would do.
While it may be true that opposites attract, I would say we have more in common than opposed - musical preferences, fine foods, and beverage choices aside. She patiently waited for me to mature from boy to man, and I came to understand and appreciate her elegance and tastes. I greatly marvel at her ability to raise two polar-opposite children yet keep her sanity, and still deal with me as I rant about events at work and other in-the-big-picture-of-things trivialities.
Thank you, Mrs. Quipper, for fifteen great years. I am excited and thankful to be approaching the next fifteen years - with all their hopes, dreams and unknowns - with you by my side.
The Quipper.

After he is married he is "finished!"
VBG!
I thought after he is married, you could finally start working on him! (eg) "Marry the man today, and change his ways tomorrow!"
Uh oh, I didn't know a husband was like a used car.
What a great blog! I admire you guys. =)
Is that boy to man thing really over yet Marie?
This is really sweet Rick! It is such a blessing to have that one special soulmate for life, isn't it? Blessings to you both as well as your children! :)
