When things have been at their worst, that's when we have gotten the closest as a couple. On the other hand, we haven't caught a break since we got married. It's been a ridiculous struggle the entire time...financially, professionally, medically, spiritually, etc.
If it's not one thing, it's another to the point that I have remarked that this can't be real life. It's surreal the kinds of crazy things that happen when we're around. lol
