Aww, cool! You and your hubby’s nerdiness is what I have in mind.The footage of meteor is kind of spooky, I’ve been watching it on repeat throughout the day.

There is such great stuff from new commenters today. I love it when a post strikes a chord with someone who hasn’t been around the threads much (or at all) in the past.
I think one of the silent killers for marriages and relationships is the “no compromise” or entitled attitude
That’s very similar to one of my suggestions, which is “never dig in your heels.” Certainly not so that you can be right and have your way.
Your spouse likes certain things about you; make sure they get a regular dose of that. It’s part of the “bargain” they hoped for when they entered the relationship.
Brilliant. And for the record, this often is about demeanor, playfulness, sense of humor, etc. It’s not always about “letting yourself go” physically.
Understand, be prepared for, and assist with change over time. The person you marry will change. You will change. Your families, jobs, and social structure will change. How are *you* going to deal with that and how are you going to deal with that as a *couple*? (This is part of why relationships require work.)
More brilliance!
Your wife is a fortunate woman.

It doesn’t scare me but the fact that we have 2012 DA14 passing close to Earth almost the same day gives me pause. Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action if tomorrow we got another ‘event’. I will be digging a bunker in the backyard.

J, funny how our experiences differ, with regards to the “dopamine drop-off”.
I wouldn’t say that I lost attraction for him as much as I’d say that the dizzying, infatuated, take on the world, everything is a pleasure feeling described in the video abated. I still think he’s one fine looking older guy.
My wife reports still being as attracted to me as day one, and I think I’m very darn close to that. I never experienced the “crazy high” that so many people report, it’s been quite steady.
