Welcome to the land of the Late Bloomer Bride (LBB). An LBB is a woman who got married for the first time over the age of 40. Personally, I got married for the first time at age 42 (about 20 years after Grammie had hoped). And, as I was getting fitted for a (couture) wedding dress for the first time in my 40s, it occurred to me to ask: How do we do this?

How true! The issue of equity is one of the most important in any relationship, especially in marriage. When one reserves a right or privilage to themselves and yet deny it to there spouse is very damaging. Equity Theory attempts to explain relational satisfaction in terms of perceptions of fair/unfair distributions of resources within interpersonal relationships. Equity theory is considered as one of the justice theories.
Love, respect, honor, esteem, regard, consideration, graciousness, understanding, support, validation all are foundation stones for a lasting and deeply satisfying marriage.
Just a few thoughts. By the way, I enjoy your blog. Great wit, humor, and sense. Thank you, Jacob
Thank you, Jacob! Yes, equity is the foundation upon which all the other “goodies” can emerge.
And, thanks for reading.
