New Love: A Short Shelf Life

A middle-aged man sits thoughtfully in a dimly lit coffee shop by a rain-streaked window, resting his chin on his hand while looking outside. On the wooden table in front of him rests a steaming mug, a small lit candle, a notebook, and a smartphone displaying an open article on its screen.

New Love: A Short Shelf Life

An interesting read, but a little discouraging when that author says that all a couple has to to is make it ’till the kids get out of the house and things will get better.  This just reinforces in me the idea that I am never getting married again…well, maybe when I’m MUCH older…

My apologies. The NY Times has moved this article behind a pay wall since i originally published this post back in 2012.
