CatherineM Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 You never know when a conversation is going to go in a direction to learn something new about a potential spouse. My husband tells people that he had two "fall in love" moments with me. The first was hearing me sing hymns to myself in the kitchen while making a dinner for a houseful of people. The second and capper was listening to me give a lecture tracing the development of the Muslim Brotherhood coming out of the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of Lausanne. He used to teach Military Geography at the American Military University online, and was convinced women had no interest in military history. I actually think it was my key lime pie that got the proposal out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that had anything to do with maternal skills, but hey, whatever! You rock, Catherine. Seriously. I wanna be like you. I got the name down... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got pregnant, I started singing all the time. Don't know if it's at all related, but hey, it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missionarybelle Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 ha ha i think important things to ask are if the toilet paper should be hung over or under... if you squeeze the middle or the end of the tube of toothpaste... if the towels should be washed after every use, or every few days... who has to kill the spiders... stuff like that makes marriages fall apart.

CatherineM Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I had to leave my rifle in Florida. Canada barely let me in as it was, so if I had been packing, no way. My former roommate sold it to a KKK member, which for people who have read my book will find ironic on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You as a college student wouldn't be able to afford it. I was on the rifle team in college, and have expensive taste when it come to tools. There was a lot of stuff I had to leave behind in Florida, that I was supposed to be paid for when my roommate sold them. I guess the check got lost in the mail. Mine for half my rent until the end of the lease never got lost though, go figure. I really miss my old VW camper van. My husband was worth it though.

Luthien Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Hi Slappo. I live in Steubenville with my husband (Laudate_Dominum) we met on PM, which is kinda neat. I can say that the one common theme here that seems to be prevelant is TAAAALK. Catherine had some AWESOME pointers, that unfun practical stuff should be discussed early on, the other things will come naturally. Keep your prayer life strong, go to Mass often, and receive the sacraments often. This helps you so so much, believe me.
