Dear Mari

i like your three new rules. other spouses might not like being given rules, but your hubby seems to appreciate structure and having things defined for him. so it doesn't surprise me he signed up to that.

of course there are problems with rules and exceptions to every rule and whatnot but your rules really target problem areas, so i can't help think they will be more useful than not.

rule 3 is the one that made me wonder. not so much if he would do it, but if you would call him on it. but even if not enforced for every little thing, articulating that rule to hubby was probably useful in driving the point home as to how bad you feel when he behaves unkindly, and could make him more mindful.

i am already looking forward to next summer for you.
