The 10 golden rules for making marriage last a decade

Yep, you read that right. A woman as youthful as moi has been married for a whole decade. It also means that life has taken its toll on my husband and me. The kind of toll that makes strangers ask ‘are you alright?’ as I sway on the platform at Finsbury Park after three broken hours of sleep with a sick one-year-old. Again. I am mangled by mundanity.

So when it comes, I am all over it. Bathing like Bacchus in red wine at ? Give me that UTI. Shopping for fripperies like dried flowers and personalised pen pots to store my love note writing quill in at Coal Drops Yard? I guess I’ll write you a card then ( only of course). Cinema trip to watch , where I’ll ogle Paul Mescal through my tears? This is indeed my unique love language.
