Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.

One of the ways in which my husband and I are most definitely ‘pink and blue‘ is when it comes to our motor vehicles. He books all of the oil changes, he gets the winter tires on in the fall, he gets the summer tires on in the spring, and he enjoys spending time cleaning both of our vehicles, inside and out.
We’ve recently come to the realization that our minivan doesn’t suit our purposes anymore. Well, my husband came to that realization and gave a five-point presentation to me, thinking that I’d put up a fight. I responded with, “That makes sense. You find the new (to us) vehicle and deal with selling the van.” He agreed, because that’s “his department.”
He’s spent hours and hours (and hours) researching which new (to us)(we always buy used vehicles) is the best one for us and he is so Dutch/frugal that I know he will choose the best! vehicle! ever! And that it won’t break our budget.
