Dear Justus,
My wife and I disagree on whether to tell our kids and friends how we met. When my wife and I met, she was underage. She was 16 and I was 21. We fell in love; it was true love. We have been together for 24 years. We have two beautiful children and have made a wonderful life together. I love her as much today as the first time I met her.
How should we answer people when they ask about how we met and fell in love? I know it was wrong and against the law . -- MIKE IN CALIFORNIA

Mike in California,
Why bring up age when explaining at all? By going into those details it will only take away from the love story. If it's any comfort to you, in some countries, 15 is the age celebrated that a young girl becomes a woman. Then there are other nations where women 12, 13, etc. are married off to men, 32, 36, and older. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just letting you know it goes on. You are much older now and you have children so be aware of generational curses. They seem to repeat history over and over again. If you tell your children how you two met and focus on age, then they probably will follow suit. My advice is to leave out the age factor and focus more on the love story.
