Thanks so much for responses!  The data is […]

This October, my wife and I will celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary.  It has been many years of ups and downs and highs and lows.  We’ve experienced the best of marriage and the worst of marriage.  And, although we don’t have the perspective of a couple who have been married for many decades, we do […]
