Following my divorce because my wife liked smoking and drinking more than socially, became abusive, beligerant and disrespectful and refused to get help, I was struggling to get by after I had turned over everything I owned to my children in care of their mother. The house the cars… etc.
Unfortunately, she hated me and also my mother. So I started listening to this song, while dancing and singing alone. My resolve was to find a woman and a new wife who did not drink, smoke, but was older than my daughters. I tried and failed but finally succeeded.
I am ok now but this song always brings back memories... Yirong and I wed for better or worse and also for what it’s worth.

Married for nearly two decades I was not living life in peace. The fact was, feelings were raw at home early on after my ex began her drinking binge. My fatigue had been setting in as early as the mid 80’s as we were no longer a cohesive couple but facing up to life outside the confines of the marriage. Falling in love is a passive, chemical thrill. Staying in love is an active, daily choice that requires vulnerability, emotional maturity, and continuous work when the honeymoon phase fades
