There is something so wonderful about coming home to a big kiss. I found such comfort coming home to Brodie during college. No matter how rough a test was, Brodie was always there to make me feel better. Though he never was much of a kisser. Oh how much better it gets when you are married. Not only are Brodie and Maisie so happy to see me at the end of each day (Maisie being much more generous with her kisses), but I get to come home to my best friend every day waiting there for a big hug and kiss. What a wonderful feeling to know that after a long day at work I will always have a lovely evening at home with my husband.

I have been getting the cliched “How’s married life?” question a lot lately. I always wonder how to answer it. With the world of reality television, I am sure that some of those questioners are hoping for some juicy bad-mouthing to follow. And I always feel as though I am letting them down when I say “It’s wonderful.” Because well, it is! Though I know I should find comfort in knowing that most of those questions are said with sincere care about my well-being. However, the question has got me thinking. What is my favorite part of married life? And that would be it. Coming home, not just to a dog who loves me, but to a whole house filled with love. I seek comfort in knowing that I have a partner in this journey of life; someone who is there for me no matter how stupid I act or crazy my ideas are. I have someone I can tell anything to; someone who will not judge me.

So there you go. How is married life? It is wonderful. It is full of comfort and security, excitement and joy, love and contentment. It’s coming home to a big kiss at the end of every single day, and I look forward to days like that for the rest of my life. There you go, my boring drama-less answer, but truly honest and heartfelt.
