A home remodel forced us to face the clutter, and now, we communicate much better. Now imagine the opposite of my personality in the clutter department, and you have my husband. My attempts to purge items didn't go well. I didn't know how to be kind in my panic, and he didn't want things to change. He had emotional attachments to things that I didn't understand, but it didn't mean I was right in demanding that they go.
