Want a sizzling hot marriage?​ (continued)

We danced slowly in the afternoon light. I never miss lunch, but I didn’t want to break the spell. That shows how much I love this man. I was giving up a ham and cheese on seedless rye. We danced on. Love was in the air.

That’s when I realized, you can’t buy a good marriage in the paper products aisle at the grocery store. Sometimes there is no need to be anything other than who you are. I can’t comment on the plastic wrap, but I can tell you aluminum foil is over-rated. Take that, Love Goddess!

Thirty-nine years later we're still dancing to Elvis. The aluminum foil is stuffed in a drawer.
