Summary
To celebrate our anniversaries, we're talking about tending to our marriages. We chat about how we're finding time together with our husbands in this season and what we like to do on dates. We also chat about the hobbies we share and might like to get into.
As a treat for Friends of the Show on Patreon, we are bringing you the Husbands Next Door! One of them described our marriage as a borg. The other made inappropriate comments that had to be edited out. See? This is why we don't invite them on very often. ;)
