After 21 years of marriage much has changed between my wife and I, but one thing has not. We are as in love with each other now as 21 years ago.
Some of the things that have made a difference are:
- A committment to friendship with each other and time for fun with each other.
- Common goals and a long range perspective.
- A willingness to "need" each other. For example, unusual interests that only we share.
- Mutual respect.
- Lots and lots of time together, doing nothing in particular except talking with each other.
- Ballroom dancing.
There's much more but that's a start.
