After more than two years of marriage, we still go on dates almost every night. Our loved ones have told us: “Wait until you're together seven years” or “This is just the honeymoon phase.” When we started dating, I was terrified.
Our nineteen-year age difference seemed treacherous to me, the kind of gossip and slander about people who are that young. But as romantic partners, it wasn't a big deal. It seemed natural to me to get him.
