One of my Facebook friends from high school comments several pictures of my husband & me with lyrics from this song..."Still havin' fun after all these years!" Together 28 years, our friends consider us the "benchmark couple" and have said that if we don't stay together, there is no hope for anyone. This was not the song at our wedding. It was Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes". However, now this song fits equally well and we consider it our new theme song, along with the old one. The lyrics are realistic in that he says sometimes he never wants to see her again but she's still the one he wants. No long-term relationship is 100% perfect but if you've been together for 20 years or more, chances are very good that you've had at least one major crisis of some type in your relationship, often more than one- that's life. When you go through issues with your kids, job loss or financial setbacks or other tough marriage issue, you learn what they mean by the phrase "marriage is work". If you work together and get through the tough times, your marriage will be so much richer because of it. You have that much more respect for each other because you are a "team" who actually enjoys each other's company. I LOVE this song! "Changing, our love is going gold. Even though we grow old, it grows new." And HE is STILL "the one"! :-)
