40 Years of Marriage

1/6/2018

0 Comments

 
For me, the key to staying married for 40 years is to have a sense of humor, listen don't fix, stop trying to change the other, forgive endlessly, make up quickly, love deeply, worship together regularly, relying relentlessly on God's grace, and finally (and this is critical) have a wife with the patience of Job!

    I’m a 4th generation Texan, born and raised in Dallas, except for the first 9 years of my life. I grew up as an Army brat until my dad retired and we moved back home to Dallas when I was in the 4th grade. I lived in Asuncion, Paraguay as a pre-schooler and was fluent in Spanish and Guarani when we returned to the States. But alas, you lose it if you don’t use it.
     
    I graduated from Bryan Adams high school in Dallas and East Texas State University (now Texas A&M-Commerce). I received my M.Div. from the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest in Austin. I am married to the love of my life, Karen and am the father of 3 grown sons, 3 daughter-in-laws-, Grampy to 3 beautiful grandchildren.
