My first relationship was from when I was about 15 to 19. My second relationship was kind of like a rebound, but also a really important part of my journey - he was very emotionally manipulative and just wanted me to be an accessory.
I met my wife in Oxford, fell in love with her, and followed her to New York. I was an illegal there for the first few years, until we got married, so I ended up doing lots of interesting jobs, some for a few days, some for a few months.

No compass has ever been invented for the high seas of matrimony.
For a woman the objective is often a committed relationship also known as the destination. For a men the road trip on the way to the destination is often the most fun.
It was there I met my future wife, Celeste Landry, although our lives took us separate ways for many years and we were not to marry until more than ten years later.
Getting married is an adventure. Because when you're getting married, you're doing something you don't know anything about. Did you ever think of that?
Being in a relationship is like being in A.A. My friends ask me, 'How's it going with that girl?' 'One day at a time, man.'
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.

There's the right person, or right people, for each other. There is that order that's searching to be found but, I think, it's not as if everything is going to be automatic.

An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."
In 2014, as a Christmas gift, I wrote an essay for my husband, about our story. Writing that showed me there was value in interrogating my experiences while they were fresh - especially because I was terrified of forgetting.
