Legendary Love

I date a lot, even though I am married. And that’s the secret to my marriage. 20 plus years with the same woman, you would think that it would get old. But it doesn’t. It doesn’t if you start dating. You know what I am going to say. Let’s get into it…

Two decades and still going strong. Wife and I have never been stronger. We have a legendary love. And I’ve mentioned it before. We act more like young lovers, than we do a married couple {of 20 years}. We listen to each other, even though most of the times we know what the other is going to say. We kiss non stop. We like to travel. And if time doesn’t permit, we take a road trip. In other words, we date several times a week.

Every morning before work, she helps me put on my bracelets. {Yes, I am a hippie.} And every morning she comes into the room wearing these short little silk pajamas, looking all kinds of fine. I just don’t get tired of this woman. And that is what a legendary love is. You make memories, make love and express gratitude. You trust. Then you build rituals, that builds the relationship.

Neither of us have ever drawn a sword. If there ever came a time to draw one, I’d place it at her feet and bow to her. Because of the caliber of woman that she is, I know that she would act ethically to resolve whatever caused us to draw the swords in the first place.

Legendary love. Relationships aren’t that complicated. We are. Sit at a round table, as there is no head, no leader. Work as a team, win as a couple. And keep playing. Single people don’t have a monopoly on fun and good sex. That’s what “new’ makes you think. I’ve given my wife all my power. She could level me. But she won’t. Because legendary love doesn’t know how.
