Notes on marriage - to pontificate at the children some day

I was replying to someone else and got all preachy.  Never one to waste ostentatious windbaggery, I figured I capture it here.

I like number two. It made me laugh - and I DO have to remember that sometimes when I'm all "Wha-at?"

I think I got really, really lucky. I don't think it was possible to even fathom how compatible my husband and I are before we got married. I mean, I thought we definitely were, and the rest of your points were there with us, but the longer we are together, the more it blows my mind. I love him very much.

also, the sex thing - on my end - wasn't that amazing at first. I mean it was amazing in the OMG NEW kind of way, but I wasn't as hot for him as I had been with some other people in my life. But interestingly, the longer we are together and the closer we become, the better the sex is. And he even pointed out recently that he really loves how attracted he still is to me after almost 6 years together. And I realized how much I do really enjoy *%&$ing my husband. Bonus!

and...(she kept on going...) I think it's kinda important to "do it" even when you're not "in the mood", sometimes. I don't think I have ever gotten all the way through the act without eventually being "in the mood", and I know that it strengthens all forms of intimacy between us.

Yes, this, absolutely. So completely absolutely.

Yeah, this.
