I met my wife when I was thirty one, and there was no question. It hit me out the blue we were from the very first moment an item. From that day on our life has been a trail of undeliverable sometimes hilarious disasters, that no sane person would believe and we have inextricably been sinking for twenty three years, but we are still as much an item as on that first day. Disasters that were just not predictable have been our constant companion, for instance my pregnant wife an I were on the last plane into Split Airport, as the Yugoslav war kicked off.
My grandfathers became firm friends in the trenches of the first world war, my father's father's first born and and my mothers fathers youngest girl, were not just born on the same day, but at exactly the same time. When they married it was as if it had been ordained. And their marriage was one of unending turmoil hate and recrimination, but they were of an age where divorce was out the question.
What do I think about marriage? Fuck knows.
