\u00a0\u00a0 Waxing Crescent of the Moon of Winds<\/p>\n
Today is our 18th anniversary.\u00a0 At the 15th we passed the total time I’d been married before, 5 to Judy and 10 to Raeone.\u00a0 Now we’re pressing forward to the 23rd when Kate will pass her years married to David.\u00a0 This is arithmetic that, it seems, our generation has to calculate more than any other.\u00a0 It was\u00a0turbulent times for marriage between 1969 and 1995 or so.\u00a0 My impression is that divorce has declined in recent years, an impression buttressed by the Family Law Center on the internet.<\/p>\n
It’s an odd sensation to have practiced serial monogamy after learning about it in Anthropology in 1968.\u00a0 Even stranger is the fact that this marriage seems to blot out the others as experiments, or missteps.\u00a0 Kate and I have developed an intimacy and collegiality that I had hoped for before, but not found.\u00a0\u00a0 The level of joy and comfort that comes from having her in my life grows with each passing year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, in the end, I’m not sorry I took so long to figure out who I was and what I needed in a relationship because it brought me to this wonderful woman in time, in time for a life together and in time to grow old together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking forward to 18 more plus a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
