Married for nine faithful years, is unheard of these days; for, so many spouses are not upholding their marital vows. Although, I enjoy being married and committed, at times, I wish I were single all over again. In retrospect to my unattached life, I enjoyed not having to be submissive. I enjoyed not brushing my teeth as soon as I awaken or having to prepare a five course meal. When I did not want to be bothered, I became a hermit and tuned everything else “OUT”.  Now, that I am married, I can not do that; for, my spouse wants to communicate. “Yeah”, being single were the good old days.
