Yes indeed.
We also have been bride and groom for 36 years. I found out long ago that if I wanted to be treated like a king I had to treat the lady like a queen. I open the door for her, am patient when she is clothes shopping, etc. She on the other hand makes certain that I am a success both at home and at work.
Wow! Love is grand!
This is so true. At the last hospital where I worked, a friend of mine was talking to a co-worker about marriage. This guy said he was always careful to be a gentleman around his wife, minding his manners (no crude bodily noises, functions, etc), well groomed and respectful. He got sex anytime he wanted. Everything set the stage. The attitude and the nature of the relationship determined the outcome.
