2 min read
Typically once I inform those that John and I’ve been married for 17 years now, they exclaim in shock, “What, did you get married whenever you had been twelve?!” After which we snicker and snicker till I get up and cry a bit of.
The instances I am not dreaming, although, folks generally ask what our “secret” is. I assume they imply the key to a cheerful marriage, and never that factor that occurred on the truthful, as a result of how would they find out about that?
So. The key to a cheerful marriage?
ROMANTICAL TYPE WORDS AND STUFF.
Yep, nothing bolsters a relationship greater than eloquently whispered…um…whispers of affection.
And stuff.
What’s extra, this sort of mushiness is not simply in your weeding day!
Now, admittedly, John is so much higher at this than I’m, however I’ve discovered to observe his lead and attempt to say one thing romantical each single day.
I do know it may be onerous for you naturally romantic chatterboxes to grasp us extra silent and stoic sorts, however the reality is usually we simply do not know specific what we’re feeling.
And different instances you may have to chop us a bit of slack as a result of, hey, at the very least we’re making an attempt.
[creepy grin] Aheheheheh. PREEETTY.
However actually, I am unable to stress this one level sufficient:
ROMANTICAL.
And if you wish to preserve your partner on his or her toes, strive celebrating your subsequent anniversary like this:
Not that *I* would ever do such a factor, in fact. No, I choose to put in writing John heartfelt missives of the sentiments my coronary heart feels. Type of like this bakery’s supply field:

In order that the soul of my soul and your soul and our souls – oh sure – [sliding to front of stage on knees] embracing you. [biting lip] Unnng. Yeah, boy. UH.
