On Cooking for Two...

To quote my favorite Scotsman, Craig Ferguson, “Today’s a great day for America everybody” except I really mean that, well, today is a great day for me. It probably is a great day for America, too, but I don’t have enough time to stay caught up with the news. But back to the point, today is a great day for me because today marks the close of our first month of being married! (Coincidentally, it’s also the last time I get to be excited about a 1 month relationship marker) Lately, I’ve been getting the question “So…how’s married life?” or some permutation quite often as a conversation starter from people. Given the recent popularity of the topic, I thought that today I’d share some of my thoughts.


So…how’s married life or, as  mein großer bruder likes to say, “marital bliss”?

Well, it is quite blissful and fun. In fact, I love it. It’s like in college after you got through that first awkward year of living with a complete stranger and you finally get to move in with someone you like, but better since that someone is stuck with you! Just kidding. It is, however, wonderful to get to live with your best friend. It’s different from how things were before and it’s not. I think it’s a subtle difference thus far, that I think will become greater gradually and perhaps imperceptibly.
