Is It Okay To Settle?

I think that you really don't know how compatible you are (or aren't) until you experience a horrible situation together. Years ago, our only children died and I almost died at the same time. A social worker that worked with us at the hospital said that that event would either draw us very close together or tear us apart. I thank God every day because it did bring us closer together than we'd been up to that point. That's not to say that his OCD tendencies don't drive me crazy at times or that my eccentricity doesn't leave him shaking his head at me often!!!! It's just that now I know that we have such a shared history that I can't imagine throwing all of that away.
