Your marriage will never become boring when your husband of 30 years thinks this is how you hang up a clean hand towel after it is newly laundered. When you have been together a long time, it is the little things, whether they be clean or messy, that can make or break you. Making coffee for me in the morning: clean. Not knowing what day the trash pick-up is after three decades: messy. Bringing home flowers just because: clean. Eating the last bag of pretzels and not putting it on the grocery list: messy.
To be fair, I will do me. Getting a new bar of soap out for his shelf in the shower when I see the current bar has become a sliver: clean. Lighting up the bedroom like a beacon with my iPad in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep: messy. Making his favorite wintry meal for his birthday in the dead heat of August: clean. Being extremely anal retentive about how an item is placed on a hook in the bathroom: messy.
We make each other laugh, we drive each other crazy. But we do it all with clean hands dried by a messily hung towel.
