As a “struggling” (relatively happy with my work) writer myself, i was well aware of how hard it is to make much money in the profession. But that’s not why we write, is it. “Success” is how I feel after a good morning of writing/editing/and most recently audible-ing. Love your work btw.

My mom was a stay at home parent for a long time - Dad worked long hours and they jointly decided that it would be better for the family to have Mom taken care of stuff at home. They always made it clear that Dad's salary was THEIR money, not his. He worked the job but her work enabled him to do so.

It's so true in every field that the most successful have someone behind the scenes, and often it's a wife. Thoreau had sisters cooking for him and washing his clothes. I love that you give Kristie the recognition she deserves.

Insurance is the reason Citizen D and I got married, after having been partners for 15 years, practical.

5. So, yeah. If you like what I write, thank Krissy. If you don't like what I like, blame me, but Krissy is here to make sure I keep inflicting it on you anyway. No matter what, she's fantastic, I love her, and she's the best thing to happen to my career, and also, me. (/end)

I love this insight into your craft, your business, and your partnership that makes it work for y’all.

A good marriage is in my opinion a good team, and that can manifest in many different ways.

Your constant clarity about the balance in your partnership is IMPRESSIVE. I'm very grateful that you exist as a role model for men.

The good news is that compared to 20 years ago, it's a line item in your budget. Yes it's a big one, but you can definitely get insurance.
