35 years of marriage has taught us that there’s no such thing as a successful relationship, some of us just get away with it! We arrived at our anniversary feeling like emotional wrecks after 35 years of messy, painful, beautiful, fun, devastating and loving marriage. We kind of feel like we haven’t really achieved a good marriage so much as we have got away with it. This podcast is some of the story of how we think that might have happened.
In the season final Sal and Dave reflect on their Empty Nester Phase. Living and working in Mt Druitt and enjoying the space that comes from an empty house. Also discovering how tables turn from being the wise parents to learning from their adult children's wisdom.
In this episode Sal and Dave reflect on one of their most recent adventures together. Moving into an under-resourced community begins a 3 year experience that shared their marriage to this day.
Interestingly one of those discoveries turns out to be the need they had for both adventure and a sense of spontaneity balanced with a set of rituals they looked forward to. It's also were they met Bill the Black Labrador the became tier mascot.
