I remember many years ago, listening to Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward being interviewed. They were asked how they were able to stay married and keep their love alive in the "Hollywood" environment. Paul went on to say that we live in a throw away world, a toaster, washing machine, basically anything that breaks is tossed and a new one replaces it. He then went onto say that when he and Joanne were deciding to marry,money also decided that if their marriage started to break, they would repair it, and that divorce was not an option. This made a strong impression on me, and I have retold this story many times. My husband and I just celebrated our 44th anniversary and even though we have had some rough patches, we fixed what was broken. We also try to fix "stuff" when it is broken, and wish we had a place like Pop-Up Repair close to where we live.
