Your parents are no longer responsible for your legal shenanigans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, according to statistics, eighteen years of marriage is pretty doggone good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I did know going into this contract is that I was in it for the long haul.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter and I had each other\u2019s backs when we were dating but with marriage we became a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we have done pretty well as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are each other\u2019s sounding boards for just about ever aspect of our lives. The nice thing is that we are very honest with each other. If it is a bad idea we will tell the other or give them another way to looking at it. Peter has told the tale of how I came up with Maddrox\u2019s split personality for X-Factor at a number of conventions. It was an idea that I had which he took and ran with to flesh it out. There have been other times we have been brainstorming and we work off of each other\u2019s ideas building to something very cool. But if an idea just doesn\u2019t work, we tell each other. There was something Peter wanted to do in a comic but he came to me first because the subject matter was, at that time, a keg of dynamite. I told him to stay as far away from it as possible. Later someone was bullied off the Internet because of the same subject matter. Bullet dodged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes we have that cute or unfortunate ability to finish each other\u2019s sentences. We try to not do that in public. There are times I am his memory about events that have happened in our lives or some piece of trivia that he needs and he\u2019s my spell checker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hold hands in public and in private. Sometimes for support and sometimes because it is nice to hold hands.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t hide things from one and other except gifts and we stink at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know each other\u2019s likes, dislikes and allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We just know each other very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ours, to me, is a very comfortable marriage and it is the kind of marriage I need to be in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Anniversary Peter! Here\u2019s to another 18 years and more. By the way for the 36th anniversary the present suggest is bone china that is a form of porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am grateful for my marriage with Peter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently the 18thwedding anniversary gift suggestion is porcelain.
