Marriage isn’t a joke. If you put your spouse last; it’s a tragic and sad affair. My husband Jim and I have been married for over 16 years. Like you, our lives are impossibly busy. Like you, we love our kids (our four dogs). Our marriage provides the foundation for everything that we’ve built together. It isn’t a joke. It’s something we work hard at and are tremendously proud of achieving. I want it to last a lifetime, which is why I treat it accordingly. If you stop and think about it, it’s the way it should be.
