It was easier for me to get along with my spouse when we did not live in the same house. Each of us knows that our way is the right way. The mundane tasks of daily life are more enjoyable when we are together. It is easier to get along with your spouse when you do not live in the same house. After two months of living with my husband full time, that is my biggest lesson. We have been married and committed to one another since 2010, but we have only recently become roommates. We kept separate homes about a mile apart. The economic arguments for marriage remain. It is cheaper to maintain one household. It is nice to divide and conquer household chores. When I moved in, I expected some challenges. My husband was a bachelor for most of the 2000s. I had been alone with my four sons since 2009. We had never experienced success or satisfaction living with a spouse. Our previous marriages were not good. We thought that our decade together gave us an advantage. My husband and I have known each other for more than 10 years. I know his weaknesses, he knows mine, and we love each other. When my address changed, I did not expect our relationship to change. We have learned a few things about one another. My husband is used to being in charge of his environment. When he was alone, things stayed wherever he put them.

I have been pretty even-keeled in recent years, and I thought of years of therapy and reflection. I was proud of the mostly peaceful home I had created for myself and my boys, and I believed I had grown beyond my first marriage. We had a fight. I felt his anger and irritation and responded by pulling away, going quiet, and watching his body language and tone of voice. After we discussed and settled the underlying issue, I realized that my emotional reaction was not related to the current situation. I'm approaching 50 years old, but I'm still a toddler in many ways. I have yet to develop healthy conflict-resolution skills, but I am trying. We developed certain routines and habits while we were living apart, and we are sure that our way is the right way. My husband is a realist, while I am a dreamer. We are both flawed humans who are able to survive each day. We can take advantage of our skills when we mess together. He has a strong suit because he worked in home construction. A former nurse turned writer, I can focus on family health and safety. The mundane tasks of daily life are more fun when we are together, and neither of us takes this partnership for granted.
