We are a good team. No fights, no arguing. We work very well as a couple. I want her to be happy, and she wants me to be happy.
It’s quite simple really.
We are going to have a nice simple diner at home.
It’s interesting, I was talking to my physical therapists assistant the other day (I hurt my shoulder playing volleyball) about my Wife’s goals for an Iron Man finish.
My Wife trains a lot at this point in the game. About 3-4 hours a day. Most days we only spend a few hours together (awake that is). Sometimes less, sometimes more. Vacations and trips are different of course.
She was surprised that we didn’t spend more time together. She asked me with a worried look on her face “Is that what marriage is like?”
“Well, for us it is, we are not joined at the hip”. We are still individuals. Circles unto ourselves that overlap and create an even bigger heart.
We married at 36yo. We had already seen a lot of life at that point.
Different things work for different people. Finding the right person is tough.
We met at the small county fair. At the rodeo. We both worked for the county (and still do) and a bunch of us where gathered at the building and grounds truck (best seat in the house).
If 20 years ago, someone told me I would meet my Wife to be at a rodeo, I would have laughed in their face. Or been a bit scared.
Ya just never know when it will hit you, or when or where you will find that special person.
