[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have been married for over 50 years. My dad had tenure and would not move/travel/entertain any change. He would go camping with the family, but any hotels/rentals - no way. My mom bought a house of her dreams when I was out of graduate school. It took my dad a year to move from the condo. They basically dated that year. The only trip my dad went on was for the year 2000 celebration. He loved it, but would not go anywhere again. My mom travelled by herself and with kids. Their marriage is still a happy marriage as they accept each other as is.[/quote] I assume that when your dad was offered a tenure track position, your parents had a conversation about it and knew it would set the course for their adult lives? I think this supports the idea that actually making big changes is less important than good communication and shared decision making, even if the decision is to stay put. [/quote]
