This week was my 26th wedding anniversary. Twenty-six years with the same man and my conclusion is this: the success of my marriage comes down to luck. Luck we didn’t want to divorce at the same time, luck the money returned after it ran out, luck the near fatal illnesses didn’t win, luck a bus hasn’t run us over. Luck our kids made it to young adulthood alive and intact, luck we have good health insurance, access to mental health services, supportive friends and family. Luck the vision we shared decades ago remains shared. Luck we still like sex, and each other.
