Love is not about feelings

To commemorate 20 great years since I married my college sweetheart, I took some time this week to think through some of the lessons that I’ve learnt about marriage. The biggest one is that love is not what we thought it was! Let me explain.

 More than 20 years ago, like any typical dating couple, we did some rather non-conventional things. Have you ever seen a guy outside a dress shop carrying a ladies handbag as the girl he loves looks at and even tries out different outfits? That was me. Little did she know then that I hated window-shopping. She was no different; she sat with my friends and watched the rugby games I played in. Little did I know that watching sports was not on her top 100 favourite things.
