Am I in Love?
I recently got nailed for forgetting that the wife and I have been married for more than 18 years, and that on our next anniversary will will have been married for 19 years. I got confused(forgot to do the math and instead relied on my memory), and said that our next anniversay would be 18 years.

For committing that faux pax in front of friends I had to grovel for forgiveness.

I didn't really mind because I'm quite thrilled that we've been married so long. I'm still very much in love with the wife. We've both worked very hard to make sure that 'our love' will continue. So we've done a lot of couples counseling, and we've had a lot of heart to heart talks. My dear, lovely, magnificent, intelligent, gorgeous, sweet, wonderful wife has been more than patient in helping me with my depression and my ADHD. If not for her, I doubt I'd still be alive. But even better, because of her I'm not just alive, I'm living life.

We do pretty well for each other. I'm thrilled to be her husband/friend/partner/etc... I'm happy to lie next to her going to sleep, and happy to find her next to me when I wake up.

Is our marriage perfect? Hah! Far from it.
Are we both satisfied with where we're at? Nope.
Do we still have a lot more work to do? Yup.
Is it all worth it? Most definitely.

This doesn't seem to be the most romantic of posts. I'm not sure it needs to be.

I Must Be In Love
The Rutles

I feel good
I feel bad
I feel happy
I feel sad
Am I in love?
I must be in love
I feel rich
I feel poor
I'm in doubt
I feel sure
Am I in love?
I must be in love

Anytime of the day I can see
her face when I close my eyes
Wooo!

She's a dream
She is real
Can't explain
how I feel
Am I in love?
I must be in love

(repeat refrain)

Am I dead
or alive?
Can my poor heart survive?
Am I in love?
I must be in love

(repeat first verse)
