The couples cruising works because she's as devoted as he to the adventure. Older couple featured in Latitude this Summer was nice, they left for a 6 monther to Bahamas on an Islander 36 and have been cruising for 12 years straight on about 1000 bucks/month.

There's that, and I'm reminded of the young man who solo sailed circumnavy on some record but then met his wife in Europe; and their fight was about him not setting a record because she was onboard... compromising she met him at every port for the newlywed shuffle.

Close quarters is nothing but beneficial when the BOND fire is burnin. That said I do reccomend "Unlikely Passages" by Reese Palley, Chapter 2 "Love And Sex On A Sailboat".

Sounds simple enough, I'm 25, and all I've seen from marriage is a lot of hard work... Currently pickin em up like the Trades and riding together til it's time for a new heading.
