"When I got married for the second time, there was no love. It was a matter of convenience...You know, I talk to some of my friends who've been married for 15-17 years, and they say it's not at all like it used to be when they were young. They stll say "I love you" to one another, but threre isn't that spark, excitement...just respect."
She stopped, perhaps noticing that I was getting carried away with my own thoughts. I knew exactly what she meant by that youthful passion that I'm blessed to still be enjoying: getting a crush on your husband again and again, longing to randomly kiss him or talk when you're away, and goofing around when you're together. I want to save it.
"Would you say that you love your husband now?"
"I love my life! I love my job. And I love my daughter..."
It seemed that she didn't finish, but she wouldn't go on.
