'exceptional,' His Benchmark

Integrity, his middle name 'Tops' was his trademark Scrupulous in all he did 'Exceptional,' his benchmark Low maintenance for every boss he'd had Beloved of his Mom and Dad When he married the girl next door They cut a rug on the banquet floor... Two years later, their marriage shattered His wife's emotions lay in tatters All she'd wanted was affection ~ All he demanded was perfection

My advice is observe, observe, observe. And don't marry until you are at least 35, have known the person 10 years, watched his/her reactions around you/ family/ friends/ waiters, and then be cautious! LOL

Don't you think you're rushing into things a bit here, Linda? How can you know someone after only ten years? And I've heard that the teenage brain is not fully formed yet at age 35... Careful, caution!!!!
