Top
ten advantages of married life
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
Let me conclude
my series on marriage by thanking everyone who took the time to call
and send me a note indicating your appreciation for unique and positive
perspectives related to marriage. Far too often all we hear and read
are the "gloom and doom" aspects of marriage. Having been
married for nearly 29 years, I believe long-term marriage has received
a bum rap and needs an advocate. I know from personal experience that
marriage has afforded me many more benefits than liabilities.
