Tim and I have weathered a lot of crises and pain and difficulty together. Maybe more than the usual amount. We have both spat in death's face more than once.
I can honestly say that at times like that, the "fight-or-flight" impulse overwhelms love and affection. Only the marriage contract for legality and marriage vows for honor kept us together. And because of that, we worked together and came out stronger on the other side of the crisis.
People we meet often remark that we are a "perfect couple" or "perfect marriage." They don't always mean it kindly, I'm sure. But we did not just emerge from the honeymoon like this. It took a lot of work to merge two people into one single soul.
