This is a tricky one, but it is so necessary. When Todd and I first became married, we immediately moved to Texas. We lived 12 hours away from all of our families. There was no running home to our parents when times were tough. It was a time before cellphones were popular, so calling parents was expensive and was limited to a once a week conversation. We had to depend on each other. Then right before our eleventh wedding anniversary, Lucian was born. Children take a lot of time and attention. Even though blood is thicker than water, it is important that you don't forget the needs of your spouse. Personal needs always come last. Imagine what the world would be like if everyone put the needs of each other before their own. Imagine what a marriage would be like if each spouse put the other first. No one loses anything. This is what Todd and I strive to do. We are not always successful, but we try and that is what is important.
