The 365 Love Quotes Project began as a tribute to my wife for our 18th anniversary. It's an ongoing project highlighting committed-based love quotes, not just romance-based ones... one for every day of the year. This is part of my "Valentines All Year" philosophy.

THE QUOTE

Any fool can have a trophy wife. It takes a real man to have a trophy marriage.

THE LOVE NOTE

K—

My sister-in-law, Leah often says to my brother in her fun, sweet manner, "I'm your trophy wife, aren't I, Ben?" Smilingly, he replies, "Yep." The good news, more importantly, is that they have a trophy marriage. You've adopted the same line, and indeed you ARE my trophy wife. I'm proud of our marriage and love to show both you and our marriage off!

THE GREAT RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLE

Have a Trophy Marriage. And proudly display and show it off. This is one reason for this public display of my love for Kara through these blogs. It's not just about braggin' (but if you got it, flaunt it), it's about showing that there is a prize that is attainable through the same discipline and hard work it takes to win a trophy in any field of endeavor.
