Having said that I understand the mores had changed since we were kids. However, sacriface and restraint are not out of date. The wait that my wife and I endured was well worth it because it strengthened our releationship made it real and lasting.
When it comes to increasing taxes my response is to resist because the more money congress gets the more they spend. Let's face it thre 1% willalways be able to dodge the tax man and those increase commitments by congress that were suppose to be fu ded by the 1% will always fall back on us.

I applaud you sir, and your wonderful wife, on you self respect, respect of each other, and strength of charactor and resolve to wait until your committment to each other was properly declared! I am sure that it strengthened your relationship and started it out on a very strong foundation of trust and dedication! There are still those in the younger generation that aspire to maintain their virtue in such a way! More POWER to them and may they achieve what you and Mrs Rubicon have! Here's to the two of you...
