For richer or poorer?

I never thought money mattered in my relationship. But when my husband lost his job, I considered leaving him.

    my wife

    At age 51, 2 years after some very serious illnesses I lost my $115k job. No job for 9 months now and counting. I've mostly been happy, cooking, cleaning, raising the boys, while my wife continues her very rewarding and tiring but lowish paid teaching job. Never one for faith and giving thanks I give a lot of thanks for a mate that never loses her patience, or her faith in me because finally after 25 years of being the rain maker, I can't make it rain anymore. I'm looking for jobs for half of the money now, unemployment ends in less then 3 months.

    After reading this piece, I'm going to pray in the darkness tonight. Thank god I married my wife and not this whiny wreck - Marisa.
