It&#8217;s amazing to me.<\/p>\n<p>Amazing that they would stay together that long <strong>without killing each other!<\/strong> LOL :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>A question<\/h2>\n<p>\nOne thing I like to ask these love birds is this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>What&#8217;s the secret to staying married so long?<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nI get some pretty interesting responses.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;<strong>Just nod your head and say &#8216;Yes dear<\/strong>.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Laughter.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;<strong>Patience.<\/strong>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Long distance relationships<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;<strong>Separate bedrooms<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nYou never know what you&#8217;ll hear&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><h2>But one thing is true&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\nThey are still in love. Still smiling. Still happy. <strong>And of course&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Still buying diamonds.<\/h2>\n<p>\nEven after 25 years, <strong>the joy of buying a bigger and better diamond<\/strong> never seems to vanish.<\/p>\n<p>Some ladies say they&#8217;ve waited all their lives for &#8220;<strong>the real<\/strong>&#8221; diamond (meaning a large one).<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>25 years for an upgrade?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>\nSeems like an awfully long time to me. Especially since&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>It will last her forever.<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I always advise young guys to buy an engagement ring with <strong>as large of a center stone<\/strong> as they can afford <strong>now<\/strong>; <strong>good quality of course<\/strong>. Because this one diamond may have to last her for the next 50 years (<strong>forever<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>So what if it&#8217;s a little bit more of a purchase than you were thinking. It might be a struggle. But is a couple of more bucks really going to make that much of a difference over the course of a lifetime? Probably not. <strong>Most guys finance the diamond anyway&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But I tell you what, she would get that bigger diamond now. And trust me, <strong>she wants a bigger diamond<\/strong>.<strong> All women do<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nJust look at her face light up when she sees a large rock. Look at her smile when she sees them in the showcase. Girls love big diamonds. A big diamond is the ultimate dream come true.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Diamond prices:<\/h2>\n<p>A big diamond is usually considered a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?Color=H,G,F,E,D&#038;Cut=Ideal,TrueHearts&#038;Clarity=SI1,VS2,VS1,VVS2,VVS1,IF,FL&#038;PriceFrom=200&#038;PriceTo=999000&#038;CaratFrom=1.00&#038;CaratTo=15.00&#038;Sort=Price&#038;Polish=EX&#038;Symmetry=EX&#038;Lab=GIA&#038;Flour=None?a_aid=JSDG\">one carat diamond or larger<\/a>. Prices for a one carat (100 points) will range from <strong>$999<\/strong> all the way up to <strong>$10,000<\/strong> or more.

Divide $6,000 up into 50 years&#8230; <strong>it comes out to nothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Diamonds hold power, love, and sentimental value.

So even if you did plan to give her a smaller one now and upgrading it later, <strong>it usually never happens that way<\/strong>. Women don&#8217;t part with their original diamond often. This is another reason to <strong>DO IT NOW!<\/strong> Whatever you give her will probably be forever.<\/p>\n<p>Is saying &#8220;<strong>Yes dear<\/strong>&#8221; really <strong>the secret to a happy marriage?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><h2>Or is it the size of the stone?<\/h2>\n<p>We may never know.
