Dude, I don’t know. He never said. Dads don’t usually discuss such things, do they? She was mega pretty, had a crowd of suitors. They were barely out of their teens when they met.
They got married because that was the only normal development for falling in love back then. People in that age group didn’t cohabit or date around. I can’t even imagine anybody suggesting to a young woman like my mother anything other than marriage.
They were married for 47 years until my father’s death.

Oh, I wasn’t questioning their form of relationship. I suppose I was asking if it was love, which you’ve confirmed. As for the reasons for the initial attraction – being mega pretty and popular would definitely cause sexual attraction in young people.

Speaking of looks, my dad was so handsome (still is) that my aunt got divorced twice, which is unheard of in that generation, because no man could measure up to her sister’s husband lol.

LOL This reminds me of a question I asked my dad: “How did you and Mom ever get together?” I never knew them to be loving toward each other, and they divorced in their forties.
Dad shrugged and said something to the effect, “We were both good-looking, I guess.”
