Pass this along to 'gold star' families in mourning so that it may give them comfort.

Mourning comes to all at some point... we all die. Wars come and go. Depravity affects lives long tern
Jer 31:15 I will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.

I'm sorry, but I find your concept of morality to be deeply disturbing and far more psychologically harmful than pornography.
Of course, this is in an opinion piece! I'm sure that people can find yours just as disturbing. Perspective, right? Obviously I prefer neither of the two.

I was just testing your memory.That is the SECOND time you ask
I grabbed her before she realized there were better looking ones out there
I grabbed my wife after she got off the boat.
BTW, she came here on the Andrea Doria, and it sunk a year later.
And WOW WOW WOW! She KNEW she better get here quick.I was just testing your memory.

Did I tell you that when my wife saw me for the first time (age 14) she told her sister, "THAT is going to be my husband!"
I had lost the case before I even knew there was a case to loose. 
And WOW WOW WOW! She KNEW she better get here quick.

How long did it take her to make you aware of her wishes?

Ya, no doubt, as they all so often have a way of doing that.Did I tell you that when my wife saw me for the first time (age 14) she told her sister, "THAT is going to be my husband!"
She didn't tell me the story until after we were married. My brother and his future wife were renting a room in her dilapidated colonial style home. When my brother got married a few months later, I danced all night with her and it was all over

Still, how long did that take? From her to announce her intentions, to the knot being tied?

My husband chose me initially... I wasn't impressed with him at all upon first conversation. He just wouldn't stop calling back. (We met over the phone.)
three years.Still, how long did that take? From her to announce her intentions, to the knot being tied?
I was 20 ( in college) and she was 17 (graduated in June -- married in September.)
WOW! How did you get from phone to face to face?

So, she didn't know better!!! That explains it!
A very long drive.
I'm in the Midwest, and I had a gaming buddy on the East Coast. I'd become close with the friend through the years(though it was always mutually platonic between us), and daily phone calls were pretty normal.
My husband was a friend of his mom's(he had been abandoned at a young age, and she had served as a 'fill in mom' at times). He happened to stop by one night when I was on the phone with the friend. Slyly, my buddy asked if he wanted to see a picture of who he was talking to. Against my will, he showed him one of my better pictures, and my husband-to-be took the phone from him and proceeded to make a fool of himself. Luckily, I enjoyed the opportunity for a comedy act he was throwing at my feet, and we bantered back and forth for awhile. He called back every night for a month, until I drove from Iowa to NC to see him(he had no car, or license). We got engaged that night, and married a month later.
LOL... that is quite amazing!A very long drive.

Do you say (don't know if you have children) "This is my story, children, but you aren't going to do what I did"

I've got three, ranging from 15 to 3.
If it ever came down to them being in a similar situation.... I'd pay for their gas to make the trip.
What a spacing of children!I've got three, ranging from 15 to 3.

Ours were 2 years apart (3 children) - lost two before we had the three.
What a spacing of children!
I'm so sorry for your loss!
How old are yours now?
My oldest is from a previous relationship. My middle one is 8; I do like having them spaced decently apart in age. They can be fairly helpful with each other.
