TheBestLove

I have been married to Scott for 20 years.He has 36 15pounds.Once a marathon runner,he nowruns only down 37halls.His hair is becoming less and his body shows the 38oflongworking hours and too many candy bars.

When my friend asked me"What will make this love last?"I ran through all the obvious 39: responsibility,unselfishness,physical attraction,communication.Yet there's more.We still have fun.LastSaturday at the grocery,we split the shopping40list and raced each other to see who could make itto the checkout first.We41being together.

There is understanding I understand why he must play basketball with the guys.And he understandswhy,once a year,I must get away from the house to42my sisters for a few days of nonstop talkingand laughing.

There is sharing.Not only do we43 household worries and parental burdens-we also share 44.Once,Scott sent me a thick historical novel. 45he prefers thrillers(惊险小说)and science fiction,hehad read the novel first. He46 my heart when he explained it was because he wanted to be able to47ideas about the book after I'd read it.

There is forgiveness.When I'm embarrassingly loud and48at parties,Scott forgives me.Whenhe admitted49some of our savings in the stock market,I gave him a hug and said,"It's nothing50.It's only money."

Finally there is sensitivity.Last week he came home and told me about a 60-year-old woman who'dhad a stroke(中风)and would probably never51?He wept as he recalled the woman's52standingbeside her bed, holding her hand.I53too.Because it was of the medical crisis.Because there werestill people who have been married 40 years.Because my husband is still moved and54after years ofhospital rooms and dying patients.

I guess we've got what it55to make our love last.
