Comments on: Running for endurance as a spouse http://bowilliams.com/2010/02/running-for-endurance-as-a-spouse/ Rarely senselessly vulgar; frequently slightly tacky Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:33:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bo http://bowilliams.com/2010/02/running-for-endurance-as-a-spouse/comment-page-1/#comment-39247 Bo Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:37:37 +0000 http://wmwmsblog.com/?p=3629#comment-39247 Thanks so much, kemtee. I wish the same for you. We're closing on 13 years, and I don't pretend that we have it all figured out, but I think we've got a lot of what trips couples up sussed. And really, I believe that the bottom line is that if two people share a truly deep commitment to making it work, it's almost impossible to fail. I forgot to mention something my pastor brought up that I wanted to include. He told the story of a Japanese cruise line that offered two-week and month-long cruises specifically for couples who were new empty nesters. Well, it didn't take them long to start carrying a few marriage counselors on every voyage. Finally, they devised the three-day practice cruise, which you were strongly encouraged to take before you bit off the two-week or month-long one. :-) Thanks so much, kemtee. I wish the same for you.
