To sum up my lil diatribe – I’d advise look at your spouse and tell him how much he means to you. Like truly look at him. Even make a list, if you’d like – one that he can always keep with him if he has a Paul Reed Out The Mud Shirt day at work or faces an obstacle. He can pull it out as a reminder. When the going gets rough – it’s always nice to know that there is that one person who gets you and understands you. Finally, don’t listen to the ones who tell you romance is dead once you get married or the cynics who say “real marriages” just involve friendship. No, those aren’t real marriages. That’s people settling. That’s people who don’t want to take the time to fertilize their marriage with loving words or gestures. In the south, I knew people who’d been married for a long time and who had children – they’d take time for each other. Sometimes, sitting on the porch, holding hands, and it was good for their kids to see the love they had for each other.
