Annemehr:
We've had a couple of bad patches ourselves, and the best way I can
describe getting through them is to realise, "I loved him before this
hard time, and I'll still love him after it's over."  It's worth the
struggle, because you always know you'll overcome it. Normally,
though, we really are good *friends* as well as lovers, and I think
this is what makes it work so well.

Our first date was Freshman year, and we were both 18.  We saw "A
Clockwork Orange" on campus, and I *hated* it -- he's been making it
up to me ever since!  We got married right out of college at 22.  Then
he got chronic fatigue syndrome, so we didn't have our first child
until he got over it, when we were 29!

would like to die in July (not 2004, though)!
