While riding my bike tonight, I passed a scene that reminded me of an unforgettably magical experience from early in our marriage. So I just emailed my wife:
My first thought after that fond memory was how much time, energy and emotion we've wasted since then, by doggedly resisting a few really minor adjustments that would have had a major impact on where our relationship is...some "shouldas": played more, agreed to the principle and practice of a household budget, practiced a little more humility and simple kindness, had a lot more sex, prayed & read scriptures together, relaxed our adherence to a few ideals and ideologies. My inclination is to end that series with "etc," but off the top of my head, I really can't think of any relatively small tweaks that would have yielded massive results. Can you? Anything you want to do about it?
