It is not something I could've said during the earlier years in our marriage, I was more reserved, but now I believe that it has become such a enjoyable part of our relationship. I so look forward to long drives where the kids are asleep (it's hard to talk now with them listening and understanding) or evenings lying in bed talking our way to sleep. I am grateful we have come to a point where no subject is off limits (the easy and the hard), where I know I can come to him about anything and he'll be there listening every time.
One of my favorite things is that a conversation can start one way and then the natural ebb and flow moves it from one topic to another seamlessly. You never no where you're going to end up...it's like a piece of art. I love it. This morning was no exception, I loved that our State holiday allowed us to lazily enjoy the morning sitting on the porch talking. We could have been out there for hours, in fact, I believe we were.

lovely picture. Enjoy it. Some marriages are not that way and the conversations are a struggle and a fight. Friendship is sure important in marriage.
Oh I so love this post. Todd is the only person I've told everything to...I mean everything. I love road trips because we just get time to TALK!!
Beautiful picture, beautiful words. I've been married for almost 18 years, and I felt every bit of your post.
It's great that you guys have reached this great point in your marriage- you've grown and developed and it's become a wonderful friendship. Something we all want in our marriage.
I love this photo and I love your thoughts. We should all be so lucky!
I love the picture, like always! And i feel the same with my husband. Talking is a womem thing and listen must be a men thing!! I love these moments too and it's like it last for ever; or i'd like it to! And hopefully, my husband is very patient!
Thanks for sharing your deep thoughts that can help others.
