After 20 Years, I Don’t Want A Happy Marriage

This month, my husband Greg and I will celebrate 20 years of marriage. Twenty. Add to that the years of friendship before we got married – I’ve known my best friend for 33 years.

Twenty years ago, if you would have told me that we would have four kids, moved 10 times, experienced several job changes, currently living in the the suburbs of Chicago, I would have stared at you in disbelief.

Looking back on our 20-year adventure, I couldn’t have crafted a better story.

No one can claim to have the perfect happy marriage—we certainly don’t. My husband and I are not looking for a happy marriage. We want something much better.
