“Wil & Carla Shelton – Cypress California Married 27 years – Anniversary: April 20, 1991”
“I believe marriage is a commitment between you, your spouse and God.” — Carla
“You’re both two different people, who’ve merged their lives together. You have to deal with that while you’re growing. You’re growing as individual people, while you’re together. That could be like chaos, as one person could be at a different level, not growing, or not growing together.” Wil contemplated, “Marriage is more than I thought it would be. When you get into the deep waters, you realize it’s a lot more than you thought. But, at the end of the day, for us, it’s very fulfilling to look back on what we’ve been able to accomplish together.”
