It’s true. Just in case you hadn’t noticed, I am in love with my wife.
She is smart, funny, and has a strength of spirit about her that usually only comes to those who have endured long term suffering (and no, I’m not talking about living with me). Plus, she’s a total babe who still wears a size six.
We’ve been watching old episodes of the Dick Van Dyke show (because there aren’t any new ones). You know, the one where Mary Tyler Moore plays his wife.
I was amazed while watching the show, because it seems as though my marriage is a throw back to an earlier (black and white) time. The way my Lissie and I interact is so reminiscent of the relationship between Van Dyke and Moore’s that it’s uncanny to me sometimes.
People say that old time TV marriages were fallacious, untrue, and misrepresentative of what real marriage was like. I can honestly say that right now, I feel like I’m living a 1960′s sitcom marriage, and it’s just wonderful to me.
Not perfect. I didn’t say that. Wonderful, all the same.
