Together....
After 16 years of marriage and about 1 1/2 years dating, my husband and I are still together.
In the beginning, it was all lovey-dovey, and kisses and obsessive time spent together even if he was just sleeping off his working third shift. Nothing matters in the beginning except that the two of us were together.
Add in cross-country moves, college, another move, grad school, kids, doctorate, building a house and we are still together. It hasn't been easy. Once the lovey-dovey is gone, sometimes apathy, regret and lack of communication set in. You have to try harder. Make a point to do things together. Without the kids. Actually enjoy each other's time, talents and interests. Because once everything else is over and gone, it will be just the two of us, together.
