6. NNadir, you and your wife are very lucky people!

I'm sure it warms her heart that you still feel the way you did when you first met. And its wonderful that you gave your sons such a loving and close family foundation to build on.

It sounds a lot like my husband and I. We met in high school, married in college, had our kids about 8 yrs into our marriage. We just took our first 'child free' vacation and we're 60 yrs old, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. We did a week just us at the FL beaches, a week with my mother-in-law, and a week where our daughter and son plus his fiance joined us at Disney. When I'm with my husband, it's like we're still in high school. It sure doesn't feel like we've been together over 40 yrs (that includes dating).

Sending you and your wife best wishes!
