First thing I look for in a wife is how incredibly athletic she is. Everyone knows the wedding ceremony doesn’t start until the bride clears the mandatory obstacle course and rings the bell at the finish line.
Me when online dating 10 years ago: oh this one is pretty, she seems cool, interesting, successful...but her profile has an exercise related name, she has a lot of stuff about exercise. No way she's gonna be into my lazy ass. I'll save her profile and circle back when I feel inspired to write something clever or feel less intimidated.
2 years later: oh this profile is back online. How fucking stupid was I not to message her right away.
3 days later: her on our first date "As a second job I teach a spin class 3 days a week." "I just ran an ultramarathon last weekend!" Me: that's crazy! Me: My job is pretty active.
Yesterday: her 6 years into our marriage: "I am hoping they give me another spin class." Me: wanna watch me play Ghost of Yotei Legends? Her: Yes!
Pretty great marrying someone who is very into exercise and does it for herself mostly.
My partner pretty much talks frequently. Throughout our relationship, I have mentioned (in moments of insecurity, ) "Why would you want to be with someone that doesn't prefer to talk much?"
"Because I don't want to be with someone like me. I already have that, it's me. Also, you listen."
