(life lessons)

My wife Allora and I used to shower together in the morning before work. It was the best talk-time for our relationship. You get at least 15 minutes of relative verbal intimacy during the day to talk about what’s on your mind, get some hugs, and make sure you are both ‘in sync’ on your lives. Smart woman. She was a very smart woman. About everything.

My first wife Kitty’s parents had six kids and so they spent a weekend at a hotel once a month. Which I thought was brilliant. But for me, for us, the 15-30 minute showers in the morning, were better for staying mentally close.

Since I have a little trouble seeing emotions, and I have more trouble understanding my own, talking intimately with the woman I love is not only desirable but a necessity. And it’s one of the reasons I think we had what most people considered an enviable relationship.

I loved being married. I love that level of intimacy. I don’t feel ‘complete’ without it. And maybe that is why I worship the women in my life so completely.
