After 30 Years, It's Good To Be Married

Young singles like me thrive on writing like this. John Kass and his wife have been married 30 years, and he shares just a few reflections on that with the Chicago Tribune. There's nothing revolutionary or novel about it all, but there is something wonderful in it.

Overwhelmed that this beautiful Sicilian girl with the big brown eyes and the angel's heart would love him and promise to grow old with him.
