To the married, and generally happy among us:
Ever experience your spouse in a new way? Maybe she sings a song that she would never sing in public. Maybe he laughs a certain way when he knows only his wife is near enough to hear. Maybe she slurps spaghetti, he curls when his back is scratched or she pouts like a little girl.
In those moments, do you ever wish like anything that other people could experience what you are? You think, "if only her parents knew she danced that childishly," or, "if only his college roommates could see him right now." But you know that only you will ever experience your loved one in that way. It deepens your bond and strengthens your love, but part of you still wishes you could share it.
That happens with intimacy. All but incredible moments beg to be shared. Yet there is one relationship that invites us into an intimacy free of reservation, self-doubt, fear or anything else that might stop us from sharing it with everyone we meet. Yet, somehow, we find a way.
