What I get out of marriage,

By Johnny James

I get someone to talk to, who understands me and my limitations and my finer points. I get someone who will argue with me and know that even the most passionate disagreements can be handled with kindness.

She is someone who I know I will spend the rest of my life with. I made many mistakes when I was younger, including an ill-considered first marriage that amplified all of our shortcomings, rather than magnifying all of our good points.

I get someone I can look up to and someone who looks up to me. She is my biggest fan, and I am hers. We are equals in every way shape and form.

I like women. She likes women. We find women together that we can fuck together. We are both quite happy with this.

I get the knowledge that when my day turns to shit, she will be there. And because she has seen my worst and best days over the years, she knows just the right things to say to me to improve my mood. And I do the same for her.

It is a partnership in a true sense of that idea.

I rule her. She rules me. We have eyes only for each other, but can appreciate the beauty in other human beings and understand that saying "That girl is hot" does not mean that either of us would ever leave one another for any other person.

When I am sick she coddles me. She brings me soup and makes it all better. And I do the same.

After she is done with a hard day of work, I offer a back massage, which she usually tries to decline. I gently tell her that she is getting it whether she wants to or not. She likes this. And does the same for me.

When my mood is sour, she understands and gives me space. I do this for her, too. When the moods are popping with happiness, we share those things, too.

She is quite simply, a reflection of all the best in ME.

We are copies of one anothers best traits, and all our characteristics, good and bad, are a reflection of a love so deep that if you have to question it, with the person you are with, you have not yet met the right person.

When it happens, you will KNOW.

Begin flaming. I am sure this sort of honesty will be blasted into the nether depths of GFY by anyone and everyone.

But that is the truth. And if you meet us at a convention, you will see for yourself.

I hope everyone who reads this can experience it firsthand. It is better than any drug.

Let the flaming begin!
