Last night the Mr and I talked about our mutual gratitude for each other. About how happy we are together, our appreciation of one another and how we want to continue to stay together.

The conversation lasted about three minutes and took place over the phone. After 30 years together, it was both comforting to hear and to express our feelings. Despite showing and sharing our love daily, we realized it’s easy to take it for granted. Therefore, it was meaningful to openly acknowledge that we want to be together.

Our long-lasting relationship doesn’t make us superior (or inferior) to those who separate or haven’t found love. We are simply two people who are grateful and content with the life and partnership we have.

Another fun thing the conversation led to, was that the both of us, when we first met, found the other person to be “way out of our league”.
