I love to people watch. I especially love to couple watch. My husband laughs at me sometimes when we're in a restaurant and he catches my eyes roving the room. He usually asks, "What do you see?"
Sometimes I tell him, sometimes I just smile and return to gazing into his eyes instead.
But, I've seen a lot. I've seen couples who are in love. I've seen couples who are angry. I've seen newlywed excitement. I've seen middle-age apathy.
My favorite thing to see are the elderly couples who still have something to say each other. It's even better when they laugh together.
This is what I have set before me as my marriage's life goal. To still have something to say when we're ninety. To still laugh.
And I've realized I get there by gazing into his eyes today. Speaking my heart today. Laughing with him today.
What a beautiful way to grow old.
