Quotes to ponder:
"What I'm finding more and more in marriage is that we need to choose what works best for us and not let other opinions interfere."
"Money is also a form of independence, and so having to negotiate with another person regarding money can create a power struggle that is really about so much more than money."
"Life is good."
