John Adams

As I have read John Adams I have been amazed at what a dedicated man he was to this country. He had to leave his family so many times to take care of the business of creating a new country. When John told Abigail that he was going to leave once again, to France this time she said, "There is a cost to love". It truly was a cost for her. After being married for 14 years they had only spent half of it living together. While learning more about their relationship I think they are great examples of dealing with the give and take of marriage.
