Words of affirmation — not her ‘Love Language’. It’s how women die as well — those whose soul longs to be seduced not only with the physical but also with the spoken. When my friends speak terms of endearments to me — something softens within me. Oh I remember now — I feel loved.

I was married for long time. It’s true — familiarity can breed contempt.

Wonderful piece Jack. Thank you so much for sharing this. It is such an eloquent description of it all.
