It seems to me that the topic "The Road to Happiness" really hit on what is most difficult to describe - how spouses put up with each other when it's hard, and not only when it's good. In our family, it is most visible when one of us is lying sick or when we have quarreled over small things and still stay together. I want to see what kind of stories young people will write about it.

The theme "The Road to Happiness" is really apt. My husband and I test our patience the most when one of us has a cold and is lying down, and we also have to go to work and get our son to the institute. I am writing about it in a notebook, maybe something suitable for the competition will come out. Have you applied yet?

In my family, this "tolerance" is most visible when one spouse is sick and the other has to handle everything - school, the boys' lessons, and food. The topic is really good as we all have such news. I am also thinking about what to write in the notebook.
