I felt that this was an interesting article that sorta breaks down the stages of marriage.

As usual yo are right on the money butterbean. My hubby and I hit stage 2 late in our marriage and AFTER we had our first daughter Ford. It was like I just woke and was like: Who the HELL is that? lol Now we are more tolerant and comfortable with our individual strengths ans what we each bring to our marriage. What stage are you in do you think? We are DEFINATELY in Stage 3 now. Lawd. lol
