You meet someone, fall in love and imagine that life together will be one long private moment on a beautiful, warm, secluded beach. Well actually, you don't because none of us are foolish enough to imagine that life will really be like this, because this is the rare exception, not the norm. But that is ok because the reality can be good too - family life, busy life, children, pets, parents, and trying to make your house a welcoming home can be more satisfying than a life wasted on one long endless tropical beach.
But those small private moments are important too. Waking up slowly on a Sunday morning with your husband is how it should be. Having that moment ruined by your husband's ex wife on speaker phone as one of the step children wanders into your bedroom with the phone is not how it should be. Ah! The rich tapestry of family life!
