Hi Gina
Three year courtship with mrs bear........married now for 17 years this August ,and yes,.......... it was the best thing i ever did, along with fathering four lovely cubs, with her too.
It must be so bad for people that marry thinking it would be better for them.....but find they/they're partners change and become stale, boring and everyday!..........able to talk about anything, trust and knowing each other better than you know yourself........helps a lot, i would think!
We just stay the way we were, when we first met and never take each other for granted!............she's my best friend, my lover, mum to my cubs, and my missus!!
