Imagine travelling with your spouse for six whole months.
Living together, working together, sleeping together. Skipping along the seashore holding hands. Discussing what brilliant ideas you can implement into your online businesses to generate even more cash.
What joy.
Laughing together. Planning together. Smooching below the stars...Never once saying "Why are you wearing THAT disgusting T-shirt again? I hate it. It's hideous." Or: "Oh, do me a favour will you and button it. Who do you think you are? My 'effing Mother?"
No. Never saying that. Uh-uh.
Brian and I are used to being together. We've owned and run a handful of businesses, moved to the other side of the world, and built our own home. We even took our teenager's backpacking around the world for a year and never spent a day apart.
But that was different. Each of those experiences involved someone else. The kids. My mum. A friend, The builder. The dog. Anyone.
For the past five months, we have been travelling Europe. Me and Brian driving around the continent like Noddy and Big ears in our little red car. Just us. And now we are in Thailand. Just us. Spending five weeks in a swanky apartment. And it's very romantic.
Mostly.
I share this post because the last couple of days has been tense. Taut. Not taut as in perky and pert and attractive. But taut as in strangling and suffocating and rigid.
(Let's just say that we've exhausted Thailand's supply of Hong Thong Whisky).
So we thought we thought that we'd record a podcast. Sharing some of our excellent tips. On how we stay married.
Because after thirty-three years we are still going strong. Madly in love. And here's how we manage to do it...
The condo that we are renting in Chiang Mai is called the Astra. Check it out on Agoda here.
