There are a lot of reasons to stay married. Albeit they might be stupid ones to some … but they are still reasons … nonetheless.

1) Divorce, like crack, is whack.

2) Tax breaks.

3) When you make a “death do us part” vow … I mean … it pretty much speaks for itself.

We have been going through it. D and I. It has been one of the many valleys in our hilly relationship. But that’s okay. If we lived on top of this plateau where the birds chirped all day and rainbows filled the skies above us … never experiencing any issues … I am sure that I would be overly bored, and would have kicked his ass off the cliff a long damn time ago.

I am a fighter. A knock-down-drag-out fighter.

If shit is not working, fine. I begin to dig in my toolbox of awesomeness to find the right wrench to fix whatever the problem is. That is how I grew up. I watched my parents work so hard at perfecting their marriage. They fought. My dad slept on many a couch. My mom cussed. But at the end of the day, they knew that there was no other option than to make it work.

So in this valley lies lack of communication between two people who love each other very much. When does your best friend become a total stranger? Why is it so difficult to say what would usually be the easiest thing to say? How do you reside in the same four walls and a roof, but it is almost as if there is no one else there but you?

Thank God we are beginning the climb back up to the top again.

All it took to begin the journey back up was a simple, yet meaningful conversation.

All is right in my Wicked world again. *grin*

If you could retract any one lie you have ever told, what would it be?

If you were given $5000 to spend in one store, what store would you spend it in?
