My wife just asked me if I had plans for Friday night, (my birthday) and said if not we could go out to dinner. I told her I did have some tentative plans with a friend (true) so I I'd let her know tomorrow. Going out with her would be more productive for rebuilding our marriage than going out with friends.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
