Better with Age

Daily writing prompt
What do you think gets better with age?

Okay then, this is an interesting question. I am not sure how to respond. The standard answer is booze, right? I don’t drink though so I can’t use that as the answer.

Star Wars. That keeps getting better with age, doesn’t it? Odd that the prequels are getting more popular and more widely accepted as time goes by. Does that mean they are getting better?

It goes against popular convention but I feel marraige gets better with age. Hollywood tells us that the fire and the passion go out after a while, but to me the connection grows deeper and that makes things better. The longer we’re together the more I love my wife and the better our relationship feels. When I come home after a day in the office, the feeling I have when I see her… It’s magic. Truly. I don’t tell her this enough and maybe that’s a negative change, but inside? The way I feel? Yeah, it gets better with age.

We got a pretty late start. I was 36 and she was 32. That was 16 years ago. We didn’t have a wild youthful relationship period the way younger folks in their 20’s do, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I just need to do a better job making sure my beloved bride knows how deeply I love her, and how that love continues to grow with each day.

That’s something that keeps getting better with age.

  1. Better late than never, right? My guy and I found each other, when I was 31, and he only 29. Had two love children together when I was 35&36. Married now for 47 years!! Sinfully happy! Now we’re retired hiking buddies and climb ‘peaks’ together. If you two have free time, hit FOLLOW, and share our adventures. Steve&Dee, Seattle
