Divorce

We were so sad this week to hear about Al and Tipper Gore separating after such a long time. It seems crazy to us how people married for over 40 years can feel like it would be better if they were apart. AND they are not the only ones that have called it quits. It made us wonder if we could allow something to come between us. I think all of us can do a better job at keeping connected in our marriages.

We try really hard to keep each other our first priority. We exercise together, try to fill each other in about our work days, keep each other aware of kids happenings, and try to hug as much as we can.

Many times we fail each other as well... When we work late and don't take time to talk to each other. When our full calendar takes us away from each other. When we think about ourselves and what we need instead of thinking about the other.

What do you do to stay connected? What can you do better?
