Divorce would be Too Much Work

So I work on my marriage.  It isn’t easy, but it really isn’t that difficult either.  Mr. Guertin and I will be married seven years in December.  During this time we have had children, moved, started a new business, lost parents, lost jobs, and left jobs.  We’ve been lazy, and then at times we’ve seemed manic.

I’m a perfectionist, who has a to do list with several addendums.  I crave order, organization, and my idea of perfect family life.  Imagine living up to those standards!  My husband has his flaws, just like I have mine.  Sometime in the last several years I realized that a great marriage doesn’t just happen, I would have to work on it.  Quite frankly, getting divorced just seems like too much work anyway.
