Last weekend, I was at a good friend of mine’s wedding in the Catskills. I promised you last week that I would get an exclusive from him. And I got it!
Just to give you a little background on my friend. (I’ll call him “Mark.”) He was an avid dater. I mean, he had spreadsheets on the number of women he had dated.

Now this is not the part that will offend you – it’s this next part that will get under your skin.

Moreover, her lover had reunited with his wife and family.
Faith is the solid foundation for a lasting, loving and fulfilling marriage.

While on a mental or cultural level it may appear to be financially more feasible to raise a family alone, research shows that traditional models of marriage provide greater personal fulfillment, despite some financial sacrifices. The benefits of social support is extremely conducive for emotional and physical well being.
