Testing a Marriage

We've started to pack and I realize packing for a 2-month trip in a Buick sedan is an excellent test of a marriage.  It requires us to share a common vision of what we are doing and when we are doing it.  For example, tent needs to be at front of trunk.  Firestarter logs can be at back of trunk.  Seems simple enough?  Then you and your spouse try it.  You'll find yourselves questioning whether or not you really need that extra propane canister, how many bungee cords you can possibly use at one campsite and how necessary a box of spices really is for camp food (I can't imagine cooking without them!).  I think our marriage must be firmly intact.  We each managed to select half our golf clubs to combine into one golf bag -- no arguement, no hard feelings and room to bring along one more club each than we originally had agreed to.  So maybe we are off to a good start.  Stay tuned ...
