Katie, I have tons of interests outside of my marriage. I have done one or another type of arts and crafts for years - since I was a kid! I paint folkart, faux finishes, do ceramics, cross stitch, crochet; I love to cook, read, and am an avid genealogist and teach an adult bible class at my church.
I have plenty to keep me occupied but all of the arts and crafts, afghan making, digging for dead relatives ( as exciting as all of that can be!!!) does not take the place of making love with my husband!
I am all for taking classes to improve oneself. Fencing sounds like a blast. I took classes a few years back on calligraphy and then handwriting analysis. Both classes were enjoyable and I learned something useful and interesting. Neicie144
