Hope you enjoy the slide show ----- Forwarded Message ----To: Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 7:38:12 PMSubject: RE: Re: Dan (Post Tx Status, Marriage) Marriage is hard - period. My MIL passed away last weekend - just shy of 70 years together (we're only at 36!). It's a balancing act, especially with two (sometimes hardheaded - on both sides) people who don't necessarily have the same views on everything. I had a similar experience 15 years ago. I spent most of 8 months at work studying and working for a license - 12+ hours/day including weekends. When I finally received it, someone was shocked when I was home at 4:00 every day. As Barb said, when you're used to doing everything, it's kind of hard to revert back. I suspect that's exactly how "Rosie the Riveter" felt (depending on your age, you may have to look up the reference). It's not like the fairy tales. Marriage is hard - period; but it my experience, it is worth the effort. I will continue to work at it, as I have no desire to live alone (or train/be trained in by someone new!).

My thought is that my wife enjoyed being in charge while I was ill, and now just won't let go. It's like a dance. We both have roles to play. The leader isn't any better or worse than the partner, but if both try to lead, there is a whole lot of stumbling on the dance floor... Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
