  • Blessed are the Pure of Heart December 28th, 2009 

    Every marriage goes through rocky periods sure.  Dunno if it’s just me but a lot of marriages of my age bracket (late forties) have permanently splintered on rocky reefs.  The kids must feel like they’re drowning and if they haven’t been taught to float yet must quickly learn to cope and heal.
