This weekend Vonnie and I will celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary! I’m take great pride and joy in our wedding anniversaries given all the adversity that we have endured the last four years as we have worked to pay off our mountain of credit card debt. Marriage takes a lot of work without having the added stress of financial issues. I love my wife so much for so many reasons – especially for sticking with me during this very trying time. Not only are we still together and still fighting, but our marriage is stronger, and we are a better couple because of it. So, if you get a chance over the weekend, raise your glass and wish us a happy anniversary. 🙂

Happy anniversary! getting out of debt TOGETHER is WAY harder than fighting over who is stuck with what debt in a divorce so kudos to you both for sticking it out.
