I met my husband Daniel about two years after my first marriage ended. Since then, we haven’t been apart for more than a few days at a time. Until now. He’s been gone with our son at a fancy soccer training camp for the past 8 days. And they won’t be home for another 2.
In these days when kvetching is literally 80% of anything on social media, this joyful post celebrating a happy, harmonious, dare I say normal, marriage and life together, is a blessing. Thank you for this!!
During a time in our marriage that I was the "Stay at Home" I was given the title "House Manager" by our daughter. We look back fondly at the times when I picked her up from school, took her to Lacrosse practice, etc. Sounds like your husband deserves that title or better. CHO?
Write when you can, I know you are are up to something good and exciting.
The "I don't work for you" bratty comment isn't rare I'm sure. And it shows up in many versions. As a young mom home with 2 sick daughters, I called then-husband to stop for milk at the store (on the street he takes for his ride home). He replied that he worked hard all day and that was my job not his!
Very much still here! Have missed your more-often posts, but knew you must have been up to something more important. Thanks for sharing--raw honesty is always a gift. Excited to learn more about your upcoming launch! Lead on. :)

Sweet and real. Such a refreshing thing after so much cynicism in our culture.
Today's youth culture might call you bourgeois. I think it's called real happiness.
I was about to “put together a posse” to find where you went!!!🤪🤪

Such beautiful words Jen! This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing, and praying for many for years together
Glad you found a mensch and that you have Shabbat dinner as a family.
My parents have the same marriage as your husband. They are my role models!
Me too! My husband and relationship are very much as you describe. We are the lucky ones. 😘
I am so happy for you! So glad you found someone fabulous!❤️ Thank you for sharing.

If more families found a way to have more family dinners, the world would be a better place.
