Comment from Rachelle Allen
Now THIS is a beautiful love story...and I sure hope you shared this with her because for SURE you would be on her good side for a REEEEEEALLY long time after she read this.
I read a book years ago by Sarah Ban Breathneck in which she talked about how to never desire anything anyone else has ever again: realize that you'd have to have their ENTIRE existence, not just their height or their house or their head of hair, etc. You'd also have to have their stressful job or their nasty mother-in-law or their aching feet. That's what came to mind when I read this beautiful essay of yours: you realize that nothing anyone else has beats what you do with your life partner, and you're not trading.
This is simply beautiful. I loved this read today. Thank you. xo

Wayne, I have missed seeing your posts! I love this one. If I had read it first, I may not have entered the contest - the competition is getting a bit stiff for me. Great post and a lovely tribute to your spouse. Merry Christmas! ann

Wayne, outstanding! I would suggest you change the heading from fiction to Commentary. It's not fiction, but very creative humorous commentary. Thank you for entering the contest. Terry.

Comment from Wendyanne
Aw how romantic Wayne!! I wonder if my husband would think the same as you lol. I would definitely not want a rich, famous man (well perhaps a bit rich) as I prefer a kind, understanding man. Good luck. Glad you are satisfied.

And that KInd Sir, is why you are still happily married. Good Work. Send out this notice to everyone you can. Jesse James Doty is going under the knife at 1pm Monday. The operation is on his neck. Dangerous. Please encourage others to pray or send good wishes if you can. They are trying to strengthen his neck so he will have less pain. Pass this along please. You can copy this and add it to you messages. Karen

Aww! Well, Wayne, you have your priorities right! And I know you put the Lord first and your beautiful bride next and everything else that celebrities achieve would be completely unnecessary. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
What a lovely romantic letter. You pick on all the greatest, but see their limitations in pleasing the one you love. Isn't it great to know she picked you from among all the people she ever met, and you have been happy ever since?

This piece was entertaining and it made me laugh several times. I like that you wouldn't give up happiness with your wife for anything. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you again

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Another nice tribute to your beloved; there have been a few. You're right in that we could all be happier with a better body, more money, nicer place to live . . . But are we happy NOW with what we have? Obviously, you are, and that's all that matters.
Good luck with this contest - maybe the wifey will bring you luck on this one.

Comment from Navada
Aaaawww! Now that's a great way to look at satisfaction. It's great to admire those out there in the world with special skills and talents, but none of us know what life is like for others behind closed doors, and the greatest satisfaction in the world is to be had with the ones who love you the most. Lovely story! :)
