IfLove to be married but no one wants me

I found him and lost him.

Aw I love this! Being married is a blessing, but it's also constant work to nurture the marriage and grow together! :)

This is exactly right and I found it after one failed marriage. Sadly, the one that fits is still married.

Than they should marry a robot 🙄

I have found him.

Does it matter what they want?

I believe my husband and I were truly meant to be. He is the most patient, caring & understanding man I have ever dated.
