So Much More Than I Do

Jeff on the left, Josh on the right at their wedding.

Josh and Jeff, the couple saying their “I do’s” have been together for nineteen years. They both had significant relationships and experiences before this one. Josh has children from his prior relationship. They came together as adults (rather than teen-agers) with memories of their past and hopes for their future. After almost two decades with someone it would seem that the spark may have dimmed a bit. The bad habits and mundane routines are well established. All the “little things” that can drive couples apart could have had time to root themselves into daily life. I am not making marriage and long-term relationships sound very good.
