One sided short report on the L-word

Many people would say that ten years is a long enough time to know a person. Let alone a spouse.

You get to know how your spouse's mind work, know what she might say to things you ask her before she even says it, anticipate her words before they even form.

You know how your spouse moves, how she walks and turns corners, anticipate her moves to avoid colliding.
Sometimes you succeed in avoiding, at other times you seek the collision.

You learn how your spouse breathes during the night's slumber, you know when she exhales and inhales and you join in her rhythm. And you feel that your sleep is the sleep of a baby.

Yet time and time again, you find yourself newly acquainted with your spouse of ten years. Her everything is new to you. And you like it. And this is as it should be.
