We're the kind of people who would rather be outside than in. We drink mostly water. A lot of it. We're the kind of people who put on costumes at Halloween and drive around town delivering brownies (with bows) to friends and random people in the service industry. We cook four nights a week and eat out three. We're passionate about making the world better, and we spend lots of time actually trying to do it.

i read this last night. hooray NYT!
thanks for posting this! i've been so busy this weekend i never would have caught it otherwise.
now to find the time to read the whole thing...
I read this and was totally thankful to be reminded that working on relationship issues is ongoing. A really honest examination of marriage.
I applaud her being so open and honest about her marriage but that article scares me.
I guess I'm just naive, but I can't imagine my partner saying to me, some of the things they say to each other. Is that what a happy marriage is?
Long indeed. I'm getting through it a bit at a time, but so nice to see conversation about marriage and not wedding stuff. Woot!
Great post! We need more honest married people to talk about their issues.
