I was listening to the Valentine's Day This American Life podcast and there was a story about a couple who fell in love during college and spent their 20s together. As the man described their perfect relationship, I thought to my own: best friends, travel well together, great sex, can talk about anything. They, however, did not get married and have a kid a year after they met, and ended up breaking up (after a month-long rumspringa where they were allowed to have sex with whomever they wanted). Fortunately for us, we didn't feel the need to sleep around and experience a normal 20s experience, because life is pretty satisfying and wonderful as is.
I love this man.

That's an awesome quote. I also really enjoyed that bit on This American Life
