Over dinner we were exchanging stories on how we met as couples. It was really cute. Depending on which partner half was telling the story the story varied. It was equally interesting to see when the other half interjected to correct the flow, to match it to their version of the story.
The way the story got told, said a lot about their relationship. The importance of each event and detail. The intent and thought that went into their first interactions. It was quite remarkable to listen to.
My hubbie and I were not let off the hook, and in turn, were also asked to recount our version of how we got together. It was great to see and listen to my hubbies version. It was different to mine. Not the facts, but the emotions and feelings attached to each event. It was lovely.
Even after twenty years, how the description of those moments, were able to rekindle the exact same feelings all over again. The specialness of the gestures, the beauty of the intents and the fact that now we can read so much into the small actions.
So I challenge you to go and ask your partner to recount their experiences of how you met. It's fun and heart warming. Listening to their version, felt like a different story, but somehow with a lot a familiarity.
Go on, go ask!!
You may think you know the story, but there is guaranteed still something you dont know.
