I'm a devout Christian. When you're in a crew like mine, marriage is serious business. The big scary word that one is often advised to eliminate from one's vocabulary is divorce. Yeah, I said it. Divorce with a capital "D." It really does have a dark/painful sound. It's like a merging of "divide" and "force." Yuck.

I think it's safe to say that I have a Bachelor's Degree in Leahology. (Leah is my wife. She does makeup. Check out her website). I'm working on my Master's, I'm no expert, but I'm getting there. There's love, laughter, the occasional fight, yet an understanding that we have each other's back forever.

The rule of thumb for determining whether a married couple is considered "newlywed" is 3 years. At this point, the "spark" is often gone or changed. Couples often think about or starting to procreate. Usually, a couple has been together for 5+ yrs (if you include dating/engagement). With all that going on, divorces happen around this time. A LOT.

What I'm happy about right now is acknowledging the fact that divorce is the furthest thing from us. We're about as likely to split up as the chances of me eating a door. It's just not going to happen. For this, I am grateful.
