True Dreams of Wichita

Jump to Comments

The day before my second anniversary. Two years have gone by since Leanne and I said “I do” and there have been many changes in our lives as a result. We were remarking the other night that we’ve never really been in a relationship that is this effortless to maintain and that just continually pushes itself forward with very little interference from us. We fight occasionally, as any couple will from time to time, but they are rarely fights of any consequence or lasting damage and we are both mature enough to admit when we are wrong. I can’t stay mad at her and she can’t stay mad at me. It’s what I always imagined an adult relationship would be like and it’s the same kind of relationship that both of our parents have. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had such great role models when we were growing up. Most of our friends’ parents are divorced, separated or in general just kind of miserable in their relationships. Most of our friends are in relationships that are dysfunctional or so riddled with problems that they can’t possibly survive for long.  Fifty years ago we would have been conventional and now we’re the exception.  What a strange world we live in.
