Sorry I missed your questions but I have been pretty busy with all the snow and wonderful weather we have been having.
I think that the others have answered in a great manner.
The gift of time is also the fact that MLC is not a small event. It take a VERY long time, and the point really becomes that we should not waste this time but keep living our life to the fullest.
Then if our spouses ever wake up we can deal with it at that point. If they dont then we are still good.
