When it comes to writing, my husband and I are unequally yoked. Where was the pastor during our premarital counseling on that one? No matter what trivial or microscopically mundane life experience- I want to write about it. Writing, on the other hand, is not something that occurs to Paul. He just isn't wired that way.
