Hanging In During Tough Times

Well, during these times such as they are one thing that sticks out clear in my mind and that is that we have to stick together. Things just seem to get rougher and rougher with each passing day but two are generally better than one. I have had to find this out the hard way over the years. I tried to do things on my own without my husband but it didn't work. I tried to deal with my married life on my own and tried to handle the finances and you know what, I ended up in the pits literally. With the recession hitting, married couples need to stick together and handle each thing as it comes. I find comfort in the fact that not all my bills may get paid every month but my husband and I are working together to make this family a real family. I am finding that planning things together with my husband is the way to go. We seem to be happier and the times that we spend with our family is truly a blessing. We may not be getting the hours at work or the money in our paycheck but we are learning to deal with this together and I have to say that after all these years that is a very nice thing.
