WELL...
since we received a check from the government in hopes of stimulating the economy, it seemed unAmerican to not turn around and spend it...
And since my husband and I could use some relationship time, as well as some exercise...
And since we live in an enclosed suburb where everything we need is within two or three miles...
We chose to spend most of our check on a kind of fun item.
Yep, that's a TREK tandem bike (who knew?) with a removable basket, a light, a bell and a tripometer. (my husband, the accountant, of course wants to log in miles and speeds...) We've taken it on a few test runs, and even those have reminded me of muscles long forgotten!
This is more relationally challenging than you might guess, for the person in the back has no brakes, no gears, and no steering. The person in the front has to communicate all intentions of turning, since the person in the back has to lean properly. Even coasting at the same time is a challenge.
This might indeed improve marital trust and communication!
