I Feel So Confined by Marriage
Mar 21st, 2009 
I’ve been faulted before for not talking specifically about my marriage. My vagueness has led some to believe that my marriage is in some crisis and perhaps the previous paragraph might even make some suspicious. I can hear it now, “A.O., do you feel confined?” The answer is, “No.” Actually, most of my married male friends wish they were me and had the freedom I have in my marriage.
My wife and I do not share all the same interests, nor is there a demand that we need to. We have enough in common as it is, we certainly don’t need to pretend were identical twins. She likes to scrapbook. I detest it. I enjoy researching, following trends, and cutting-edge ideas. She thinks I’m a nerd. She loves to sing. I can’t to save my life. I enjoy working out alone. She enjoys a workout buddy. I love a lot of alone time. She loves a lot of people time. We’re different people, relationally committed to each other. We are connected, but very separate individuals – one, but still very much two human beings.
Now I can hear some of you naysayers say, “But this doesn’t mean you’re not in crisis. Sounds like you’re avoiding and neglecting your marriage and family.” I’ll respond to that later, because quite the opposite is true.
