I thought to myself briefly that you appear to be stressing over a situation that is supposed to be fun. You're deciding what camp to send your children to.

Well, you don't have to worry about that! You've got a great marriage. I think that comment is for those who are so afraid that they've picked the wrong guy or are stressed out over their perceived lack of a happy marriage that they end up with a self-fulling prophesy. I liked the articles in the included links as well. You might want to check those out too. :)
