Quote: I suppose that there is also the factor that makes many couples decide to renew their vows when they are recovering (piecing) after a crisis in their marraige.
I for one agree! Sometimes renew vows or in your case getting M, shows to all the world you are committed!
Glad you are getting a better man than when you went in, stones don't make good H's.
There are also breaks in taxes by being M. My H just found that out. He thought it would be better to file separately (someone told him) But the att said that is hardly ever so. It is much better to file jointly as you can get more deductions. Also instead of 10% filing jointly, H would be in a higher bracket and would then go up to 25%. Of course I knew all this before we went! But knew it was better if the Att told my H those facts. Glad I zipped my lip!
So, I'll quit my rambling! LOL. I think what you two are doing is great, go for the gold! And know wolfie is making a big leap here, actions speak louder than words! I could almost cry with happiness!
