Marriage links for the Week
Jeff Walters was my roommate for several years while I was just friends with Mrs. Happy. He is possibly the most technology-savvy person to have ever lived in, visited, or had any sort of affiliation with the town of Peachwater, Texas. You can read his stuff at peachwater.com.

This is Jeff here... I've never lived in Peachwater, but it's a nice place to visit.
I am running a bit late today in getting my post up on Curt's site. I spent the day in San Antonio, Texas.
(If you are interested, I'll post pictures of the Alamo and such over at my site Peachwater, Tx. I'll have them up Sunday afternoon.)
Curt asked me to post the Marriage Links for the Week. I have to admit that I thought this would be a simple task. Each week Curt has great links to articles which celebrate marriage in some way or another. I am finding that those articles are not easy to locate.
In the easy-to-find category, a search of major news sites turns up a story about the Defense of Marriage Act (arguing its way through Congress at the moment), an article about a recently-married high school student expelled for being married (and possibly for the fact that her husband is a former teacher at the school), and news of a police search for a self-proclaimed preacher who married at least nine women and then stole their money.
And from the slightly more difficult to find category, here are my picks for this week's links:
Two key things every marriage should have: An abundance of patience and the ability to compromise. Especially during hunting season.
I don't recognize the name of singer Daniel O'Donnell, but he could learn a few things from the hunters above to improve his golf game.
There is always more than one solution to any situation. Another take on the marriage and deer hunting
A creative way to start a marriage. I wonder what they'll do for their first anniversary?
Long-term marriages to learn from:
50 Years of Marriage and a complicated family tree. (I have mixed feelings on this one.)
50 Years of Marriage and still living in Mooroopna. Not too far from Shepparton. I have no idea where that is, but their secret to long marriage: getting along.
66 Years of Marriage and the secret is love.
