Who do you spend the most time with?

Who do I spend the most time with? That’d be my wifehands down. But before you start picturing candlelit dinners and sweet nothings, let me set the record straight: it’s not all romance and roses. Our time together is a lively mix of spirited debates, negotiations that could rival a boardroom, and yes, the occasional hair-pulling, teeth-grinding moment. Marriage, right?
