We are almost always holding hands when we are out, and even something as simple as a nice long walk around the town square and sharing thoughts is fun for us. To my wife and I it is not so much what we do as just being able to spend some time together without the pressures of work, kids, school, and life in general. Best of all we are as much friends now as we were when we married 20 years ago!
Word to those who are convinced that insanity is inherited, you get from your children. They do grow up, and suddenly you and your spouse find you have time to not only enjoy life, but each other in ways not possible before. It is really a wonderful time of life.
