I had fertility issues from a medical emergence I had as a teenager. That entered into not feeling the pressure to get married. Plus when we met we were both coming out of relationships that really hurt us and in the first five years neither one of us were in a hurry to get hurt again.

I could use some improvement in that area. I'm very careful on stairs, I tell you! I've gone back to working on our genealogy. I get absorbed in it. The world can just go by while I'm involved in it.
