BERNADETTE AND DOM
And for my last friendship post I give you my husband who has been my best friend for 44 years. He is a man who has truly honored his vows to love me for better or worse, richer or poorer, and in sickness and in health. I am very blest.
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” Friederich Nietzsche

To quote Deepak Chopra: “Everything you want in any relationship begins inside with how much love, understanding and forgiveness you give yourself. You cannot receive what you cannot give.” Kudos to you both, Bernadette, for together creating such a beautiful and loving friendship!

Yes, it’s one thing to love the person you married but you need to ‘like’ them as well… as you choose a friend for their qualities… Diane
