I came across a post that for the first time revealed to me what a great marriage can do, not only to our personal but to our professional life. Indeed without a supportive, loving partner what we'll do in this crazy world of our profession?
"There are long hours away from home and plenty of people who feel what's going on in their lives at this moment is more important than what's going on in ours." 3 Years!! My AR tribute to my wife and our marriage.
And further I thought: A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love for each other. I only hope to be, one day, as lucky as some of you are to have that love and support that makes you strong and your life brighter.
If it weren't for my wife, I'd only be half the man I'm capable of being. Guys are just programmed that way.
Even the most independent guy needs the support of a spousal partner.
She brings out the best in me, and thats what my clients get to see.
The accolades all go to her.
A very nice sentiment! I'm single, but have a very supportive girlfriend who has helped me out tremendously through the down turn in our market. I don't know if I agree with Martin above about being programmed to be half of what I could be, but I am definately improved by my relationship with Kathy.

Can't tell you how often I Thank God for my husband. God loved me so much he made him just for me. Oh I'm getting teary. I had to stop writing and give praise and thanks. Every day he teaches me something about true love and reflects Gods love for me.
Thanks for writing this post and linking to Andrews'. It's great to start your day with a smile in your heart.
When it's time you will experience it first-hand. I can't wait to read your post celebrating it.
and then,
There is a happy median...
Great post and the key to success in this industry is a supportive, caring and understanding spouse. There are many ups and downs in the real estate industry and I could not do it without my wife of 8 years. She is my biggest fan and will always encourage and push me when I need it. She will never let me get down or give up. Many will credit their success to hard work, a great mentor, a good broker, a awesome sphere of influence, but many forget to give credit where credit is due...... your spouse.
Thanks for the reminder and five stars for you!!
I have seen so many successful agents that had NOTHING in their lives before thay became agents...they found something GOOD and held onto it...and became divorced as a result....that will not happen to me....hehehehehe
Some spouses just cannot handle the change in thier mates.....
