so we have now officially, collectively and holistically given up on understanding love, life, women, financial prosperity, success, the perfect dirty martini, g-spot, pets, death and anything in between and/or afterwards for that matter. thank you and have a nice day.
next.
it's important to realize that getting married is not about love. it's not about sex, it's not about finances, family, spirituality, loneliness, aging and it's certainly not about me. it's also important to realize that all of the above contribute greatly to married life's day-to-day operations. we generally operate better on the weekends when some of the above occur in a condensed time window in no particular order.
i think it's somewhat about patience. it's about taking off my shoes when i enter the bedroom and not leaving her shoes in the foyer when she gets home. it's a lot of to-do's that you don't believe and some undo's where you felt most positive.
i also think i'm probably wrong to attribute all of this to marriage. it's more about moving in, with some mitigation plans against moving out, especially on a permanent basis.
marriage is about moving in, and moving on, while covering coffee-table open-food with cellophane, because i can't tell my pistachios from dried fruit if she uses foil.
it's a good thing, i think, like really good for the most part, and really funny at times. so when it doesn't feel that good, we generally laugh at it and then it feels better, and then we smile. i think we're lucky. i know i am.
