How has your attraction to your partner changed over time?
I first saw my wife over 30 years ago across a crowded cafeteria at the big company where I worked. I could see only her face over someone else’s shoulder. I did not know her name or anything about her. I didn’t know if she was married or had a boyfriend, but I saw her face and her gorgeous curly red hair and could not get her out of my mind. I spent weeks wandering around the halls of my building on my work breaks hoping to find her, and one day I did.I asked after her and found out her name and that she was not married. I worked up the courage to ask her out and she bravely accepted. I fell head over heels in love with her right away. It took her a lot longer to warm up to me. We were married a little over a year later; she was 24 and I was 27.I felt like the luckiest person in the world back then. I couldn’t believe she married me, it was the happiest day of my life. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and I absolutely could not keep my hands off her.After 29 years, we have both changed. We have been through a lot together, good times and hard times. We have four beautiful children. We are both a lot older and less attractive than we used to be, but one thing has not changed; in my heart I still see her as the same gorgeous 24 year-old I married.There have been many more happiest days since then. I still cannot wait to come home from work and wrap my arms around her. There is a little more of her to love now, but I don’t really care about that. I still love the sound of her laughter, the twinkle in her blue eyes, the smell of her hair, and the feel of her beautiful skin against mine. I still cannot get enough of kissing her. I am still crazy about her and cannot leave her alone. I can’t imagine being without her. I guess it must be true love.EDIT: This has gotten so many upvotes! Thank you all! I though I would share a picture of the face I fell in love with all those years ago:
