The happiest anniversary to you both! We are the week after you. I found after 40 years that in the beginning, everything is new , You’re so in love and there is much to learn. Then, as you said, little pieces of time gets stolen away for other parts of life, such as children and careers. That’s where the bumps in the road come in. Now, I love the comfort of our life that we have built together. Not having children, it is a different kind of acceptance, but a comfortable one. It’s there were children, I think it is important to maintain a relationship with your spouse. Once the kids are grown and gone, you better like the person you’re living with.

LOVE the chairs! That is one office I wouldn’t mind being sent to!!!!!

Congratulations on 40 years Claire. What an amazing accomplishment. I know a marriage requires a lot of growth individually and together which takes courage, honesty and a willingness that some people are not up for. I couldn't agree more on the importance of staying connected and growing together over the years. Thank you for mingling here in the comments!
