Welcome to today’s episode, where we explore the idea of love and evolution over time in marriage. Our host recounts the journey of a couple, Helen and Bruce, who, after 33 years of marriage, find a new appreciation for each other as they age.

Helen starts by reflecting, “I’ve always loved my husband, but now that we are older and in our 60s, I definitely hate him less.” With both of their careers changing—Bruce’s magazine job dissolving, leaving him freer to explore his passion for writing—there’s been a shift in their dynamic.

In the earlier years, Helen described a household filled with pressure: “I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.” Despite her depth of love for Bruce, she bore the brunt of domestic duties while he focused on his career.

Now, after the kids have left home, Bruce has embraced his creative side. Helen marvels, “I had a new husband!” As he picks up the domestic chores and they enjoy evenings filled with music and conversation, she treasures these moments.

Helen concludes by pondering why they had to wait so long for this connection and appreciation, realizing, “It’s all too much for two people.” In sharing their story, she encapsulates a beautiful truth: sometimes love deepens with time and shared experiences.
