1210, I've known a few people with arranged marriages and they seem pretty darn content. Maybe there's something to be said for growing love from scratch rather than starting with a full basket of juicy ripe "love" apples and then watching them slowly rot.
Hey, let's get OSU a Wolverine fan, he'd want it that way

Here's a question to throw out on my sitch. Our 17th wedding anniversary is coming up soon, what the heck do I do? Maybe I should invite OW, she can do all the planning, pick the place etc. and I could then accidentally run her over in the parking lot. I might as well use this to my advantage But, really, what the heck do I do? Last year, before the A bomb was dropped, we went out as a family versus as a couple. This was during the "I love you but I'm not in love with you" phase. We joked with the kids about how they were the only kids around who go out with mom and dad for their anniversary. It became a family celebration versus a couple celebration. It was actually quite nice, my W picked the restaurant and away we all went. Now, post bomb, is it even appropriate anymore? I'm thinking that because I'm still committed to my M that it makes sense to show that committment by suggesting an outing, maybe at least the family thing again. Any thoughts?
