Absolutely love this and such good timing for me to read this beautiful reminder. Reminds me a bit of Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, but with a different twist.

I just had my 6th wedding anniversary and that’s probably where I have experienced this concept most clearly and undeniably. It’s really surprising how much novelty there still is, and how much I feel like we’re still at the beginning of something together, and we’re only going to grow in depth and experience together as we age. It’s really fun, and most of what we’ve done together (various communal living situations, lots of unconventional life choices, now a big career pivot for both of us to continue to be able to steward land that we’re on) wouldn’t have been possible in a less committed relationship or in an open relationship. (No shade on those situations though!)

I saw on Twitter that you’re a cancer. In astrology, cancer rules the 4h and the 4h is all about the home and family
