 My wife helped me unlock some old memories today. There are many things that happen in life that we all need to understand better so we can go on living okay in our lives.

Things happen often unpredictably in life.

For example, in my life I never expected to be married three times or that my son would also be married three times. However, the third time we both succeeded in finding someone good and loyal and useful in our lives raising our children.

So, all these changes can take a toll on people so you have to sort of accept these changes as they take place.

Would it have helped to stay with my first two wives?

I don't think so. I think I would be dead now if I tried to "Beat a dead horse in this way". Maybe it would have killed my first two wives too if we had stayed together. Sometimes people stay together "For the Children" but often you aren't doing them any favors to simply stay together when it isn't working at all for the marriage.

So, sometimes it's better to just try something else in life that actually might work for you to stay alive and be happy.

Because if you aren't happy enough likely you are going to die soon.

I learned this in my early 20s when I wished I was dead. Then I met my first wife and had a son and then my children gave me a reason to go on living and to start or buy businesses to support them.

So, likely without marrying and having my son first by age 26 I'm not sure I would have made it to 30.

This is why I often say: "It's Amazing to me that ANYONE lives to be 30!"

However, if you can make it to 30 often you will live to see 90 (at least if you live in the U.S.).
