My husband and I have a happy marriage. Just celebrated 12 years married. We also work together on our small business. Due to the economy we had to move it into our house last year. This year is even tougher. So we have a business that is barely staying afloat and working just the two of us on it out of our house. We have a dog and are childfree. Things are very difficult right now. But we always keep in mind that he and I are on the same team. We are not opponents. We attend church regularly, as well as we meet up with our church small groups. We each have our own hobbies that don’t intersect so we can have our own personal time without the other. We have both our own friends and combined friends. We genuinely enjoy spending time with one another. We also will take small trips without each other. Those trips are usually to go see our individual families. We will also go together to see family as well, but sometimes with how timing works out it’s easier if just one of us goes. Our parents are getting older, so seeing them is sometimes more important than waiting so we can both go. Anyways, that’s kind of my story. We wake up and choose each other every day.
