Sounds like my parents. Dad's always trying to keep his money up. Mom spent most of her time doing charity work. I guess it was the whole opposites attract type thing with them.

[Kate never gave her parents' marriage much thought until it was prematurely ended by her mother's murder. She always assumed it was a marriage that started off fine and then went off into the range of staying together because it was what they were used to. The truth about how much they loved each other slapped her in the face in the aftermath of her mom's absence when her dad fell to pieces in the only way he knew how: he worked.]

Ever thought of getting married?
