The Perfect Moment

Gosh, other married folks don't have Those Moments any more? I do, and I can only suppose DH shares them, what with being there and all.

You know, you're just playing, having fun, then suddenly you look at each other and feel like you're in a romantic movie, leaning towards one another....so slowly....and the bonus is, he knows just how I want to be kissed.

After 11 years we still have Those Moments, maybe every month or 2. Really, isn't this part of being married? Duh, I thought so....

The not knowing is the thing. The mystery, and the newness can't be duplicated, no matter how you try.

Ditto here. My hubby and I used to play this game. We'd meet at a bar for drinks and pretend that we didn't know each other. That was fun for a while. We don't meet at bars anymore. I suppose I could meet him at the door and pretend he's the UPS man.

Yes, maybe they happen in sort of the same way, but they aren't the same. This is the one thing that all my married friends, if they're honest, admit that they miss about single life. The not knowing is the thing. The mystery, and the newness can't be duplicated, no matter how you try. I'm not saying that your moments aren't also exciting and romantic (who knows? they might even be better, for all I know), but it is not the same as that first moment with someone new.
