Wedding Anniversaries
I’m spending some time with the relatives this Christmas as usual and of course given that my parent’s wedding anniversary is just before Christmas the topic of wedding anniversaries comes up. My parents have been married for 43 years which is amazing.
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be married for that length of time, what the changes from year to year would be and how the relationship would change and adapt over time. There would certainly be challenges but also a sense of belonging and home that would be hard to beat.
I also feel a sense of sadness because I know, given that I am 38 now, that I won’t be married to anyone for that length of time. I guess it shouldn’t bother me but it does. When I think of it I wonder what that journey would be like and feel the pangs of regret that in all liklihood I won’t experience it.
