My husband likes being married to another musician, and so do I. No one asking “Why do you practice all the time? Why aren’t you spending time with me?”. We both got sick of that in previous relationships! The only time in our marriage we’ve ever argued is when we have to share a practice space, so we’ve made sure the rest of our houses have had enough room for us each to have our own practice rooms. We’re coming up on 22yrs, so I guess it’s worked pretty well!

I was married for 57 years before I lost my wife to cancer, so I know what it takes for a successful marriage and it's obvious to me that you and your husband know what it takes, too. Here's to a long, long love affair. -
Ah, 3 marriages and 3 significant others. That adds up to about 57 years. Does that count?

NO ! But, I bet you could tell some really interesting stories to youngsters of what and what not to do before considering the taking of vows...

Thanks.
It's been 8 years, Doc, but you know, I never really got over it and probably never will.

It's been 8 years, Doc, but you know, I never really got over it and probably never will. She was something else.I truly understand. My wife is a cancer survivor. I remember those emotional days of surgery, radiation, chemo. I was there EVERY day to be by her side. She had an aggressive form of HER2+ breast cancer... AND A GREAT ONCOLOGIST. She is now 8 years out from therapy and remains cancer free.

So happy to hear your wife is cancer free, Doc. I can well relate to the emotional experience you went through. My wife had pancreatic cancer and survived for two years after surgery ( WHIPPLE ), and she lived her life as normal as possible. But there were so many side effect after the surgery that times were often hard. I put my own life on hold to be at her side and, as my family doctor once said, I became her personal physician.
