Sometimes the universe is just...weird.
It puts people in your path at a specific moment and often for a specific period of time.
I met Bonnie and her husband Ray in the candy aisle at Walmart last night. And we just started chatting. Turns out they are from Rhode Island, they travel 10 months of the year in their motor home and live in Arizona the rest of the time.
They have been married 44 years, together for 46. This is mind-boggling to me and when I asked them what their secret is, the knowing smile that passed between them said it all but they did give me a list:
#1. Love each other even through the hard times (and there ARE hard times).
#2. Learn to listen with respect - hard to learn, but once you do....everything else gets easier.
#3. Remember that you are a COUPLE and you MUST take time every week to be alone together (without the kids).
#4. Sex. And lots of it.
Bless you, Bonnie and Ray. You were my little rays of sunshine yesterday, and oh, how I needed you.
