I too married a Steve, (for me the second time around) And he is also a black and white kind of guy with a wonderfully calm demeanor. They say we find our soulmates when we aren't looking for them. I guess that is exactly what happened to you. Thanks so much for coming over and visiting me, for your sweet comments, and for becoming a follower. I look forward to becoming great blog friends!<br /><br />Karen<br />My Desert CottageKaren Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01855751574611737740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930450728974350296.post-77579900753789391922009-07-14T18:27:31.494-05:002009-07-14T18:27:31.494-05:00Hi Lou Cinda...

I'm so sorry for all that you went through with your previous relationships but it's so true...until you've experienced the hard times..it's so easy to take for granted the good things!!! I have a similar story and can definitely relate to what you've gone through! This is my second marriage and God has sent me the most wonderful man ever!!! He's everything that I could have drempt of and more!!! I guess we are what you call the "fire walkers", my friend!!! I often think about the scripture that talks about God trying all of our works in the fire...so that the only thing that comes shining through is purified!!! Thank you so much for sharing you and your story with us...it was such a blessing!!! <br /><br />I'm so happy that you have found true happiness and love!!!

I truly believe there are only three reasons for divorce...I call them the three A's....Addiction, Adultery and Abuse.
