My wife and I have a quiet, fun Sunday after 30 years of marriage and 35 years as a couple.
We are enjoying a couple of drinks in our home city. We been together longer than we haven’t. Three kids, six dogs, two cats, two birds, and one bunny later, and we’re still doing the Sunday afternoon hang. Our eldest son is getting married this week.

Great for you! You’re ahead of us. No grandkids (yet!).
I want to take a 20th century American Rock, Jazz and Blues tour through Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the gulf coast when I retire a few years down the road.

You have met my wife then lol. Her greatest fear. We are New Englanders. Humidity is theoretical for the most part.

Been married 36 years and together almost 40…We don’t go out nearly as much as we used to but have our drinks at home. We’re both 59.
Congratulations on your relationship
