Categories

We had a conversation once with someone claiming, in a figurative sense, he NEVER puts people in boxes and he hates when people do that do him. In other words, he doesn’t categorize others. Mmm hmmm. Sure.

BUT, our marriage is strong and possibly the easiest part of our life. What can we say? We just get a long well. We get each other. We click. We love each other … Continue reading Marriage
