A new relationship is like starting grade school all over again. You must learn everything you can about this new person in your life. Knowing someone better than they know themselves is a great feeling and makes your relationship untouchable. During the first date what do you talk about? What is your middle name? whats your birthday? What do you want to be in 5 years? Stuff like that is what tells you that you have feelings for this person. With out these details how can you say "I like you" let alone "I love you". I will never stop learning about Justine after 4 1/2 years of being together, 3 years of marriage, working with her, living with her, and the numerous vacations and dates we have been on. The way I see it, I am merely a 5th grader at Justine P. Cosby Elementary. I feel that after a while something happens to couples where they stop wanting to know about there significant other. Whether it be there lives are so hectic, complacency, or a lack of knowledge that these extra curricular classes or continuing education classes are available.
Sometimes are lives seem to take precedence over our relationship that most of us would say I would rather be dead then not be with her/him. Why is that? Why don't we flirt anymore with our spouse? Think about these things and also ask yourself, what grade am I in? What can I do to graduate to middle school, high school, college and pass the MCAT to get my medical license and doctorates?
What do I do to continuously learn about my wife? TALK, Justine and I talk a lot. Whether it be about what is for dinner or how her day went or what she thinks about the political debate going on, WE TALK. Another thing we try to do is go on dates or take a weekend getaway. Yea our bosses or parents don't like these little trips because we are broke but hell, 150$ trip to a camp site beats a broken heart and thawed out relationship any day. I don't want to be the kid who couldn't graduate school, do you?
