the thing, the most amazing, blow-your-mind unbelievable thing about marriage is, that i have someone i can just kiss when i feel like it. 

actually on second thought, the actual most amazing thing is that he is surprised but never not fully open to it, welcoming it with all the love and gusto, adores it when i kiss him - or show him all kinds of affection. 

what a truly novel idea. growing up, intimacy was never so welcomed, there was never not a beat, a pause, a hand shoving me away, or a grimace on the face - even if it were just for show, i never knew anything else.

and to have the opposite reaction, it fills me with love. 

love feeds love.
