We’ve always been together. Since we met in high school to now, we’re together. In the last 10 years, though, we’ve become entwined. Two people mixed and attached together in marriage.
Together doesn’t mean you quit being your own person. It means you become part of something better, more than yourself.
Our entwinement in the last 10 years was furthered for a few different reasons:
Children: For 18 years we only had one child, but in the last 10 years we’ve added two more. The children have brought us together and it shows when our kids are together. As a family, we do many things together including playtime at night:
The children bring us closer together and provide a great deal of enjoyment and enrich our lives.
Activity: The last 10 years we’ve played tennis, biked, gardened, rehabbed, built, demoed, painted, installed, walked, run, swam and so much more together. It’s funny that the first 20 years were less on activity given we only had one child, but the next 10 were packed!
Age: As you grow older with someone you become more used to them and understand any issues occurring. Still, age adds a degree of comfort and allows you to come together with your spouse. This is what has happened in our marriage.
Our togetherness enriches, grows and makes our marriage complete. I couldn’t imagine my life without the togetherness I share with Missy.
