Life changing events like moving to an unfamiliar area or entering retirement are stressfull even when you move to a place as wonderful as TV. I believe stress simply magnifies what is already going on in a relationship. Good relationships tend to get better, not so good can crumble under the added stress. We will be celebrating our first yr of being a frog next month. We both love it here and have met some wonderful people but it hasn't been all roses and rainbows. Its hard to leave friends and family and start over in a new community. This past year has reminded me how blessed I am to have married my best friend. Not only do I love my DH but I genuinely like him too. And yes, we are one of those couples who hold hands....a simple little thing that for whatever reason, we didn't do very often before moving here.
