9 Hours

Mark and I spent Thanksgiving in Indiana.  So on Sunday we were driving back home.  We weren't the only ones either, the highways were packed, we hit a couple traffic jams....Not to mention the almost 2 hour wait at the border.

I don't know if you've ever taken a road trip with your spouse, but I do know that if you have been stuck in a car for 9 hours with your spouse it is likely that all of your issues will come to the surface.  At least that was the way it was for us.  Now I'm not saying that we have any major problems, but sometimes when you let some of the little things slide they add up.  So that was what happened when we got in the car.  We realized that we had gotten into a rut and our day to day routine wasn't helping.  So the car ride that forced the conversation inspired change.  We both made the effort to change a couple little things and it has made all the difference.

People say that marriage is hard for a reason...because it is.  But it is also sooo rewarding, especially when you work out your problems.

It is good to change things up.
