Hi Lisa,

My Moroccan fiancee is 11 1/2 yrs younger than I am, which believe me sure makes going to bed at night and waking up in the morning a very beautiful experience...lol I was hung up on the age thing for a while to however I learned that muslim men try to model themselves after their profit (spell check) Mohamed who was madly in love his his first wife who was I think 15 yrs older than him. He did not take another wife until the day she died. After she died I am not sure if he married again but anyway...they marry for the person you are inside.

My man is forever telling me that he loves my "big heart" and that I am soft and kind. I know it's not about money because I don't have any to spare (being a single mom) and he knows it to. I know that he is sincere about me because while my son and I were there in January, we were at his family's home every other day. He introduced me to his 3 best friends, 1 spent pretty much everyday with us and another 1 we saw every few days, the other...well he left for the Netherlands with his wife, so I did not get to know him too well.

My fiancee introduced me to every single person he ran into while we were out and even called out to some who were across the street or down the road to get their attention. Often, some of the things he says are so profound that I am left with a true sense that I will actually learn some things from this young man....my husband. Follow you heart and keep your head on straight. If they are both in align...Honey, ENJOY!!!
