I was trying to understand what is a hand me down because most of us will have been at least with one person before we marry. Do you not think that most of us settle even if we are in love with the one we settled for?
Perhaps we do settle, but even then, hopefully, we love the one that we settle with.
When I created that thread I was a widower. I can't quite remember my train of thought regarding the hand-me-down reference. That probably was not quite the right wording. Sounds a bit harsh. Maybe a little jaded.
I remarried later in that same year. I don't believe that I settled for someone but rather it was the one that I wanted. Got the right one too. Married JesusLives who is still a member of this site.
Maybe she got the hand-me-down husband. I was in rough shape at the time we first started to PM each other. She must've seen something in me. I believe that God was at work and still is in our relationship.
