Granny Storm Crow's right again! If we had it to do over again, we'd have waited longer to have a baby (we were only married two years when he came along) and longer to get married in the first place. Looking back, 22 and 26 were mighty young ages at which to get hitched, despite the fact that we're still together. Another helpful secret for a long marriage? Marry someone you love and are physically attracted to. There's a lot to be said for having lots of sex to keep the connection alive.
