Darling, I Hardly Know You

Darling, I Hardly Know You

Darling, on your 60th birthday, after 35 years of a flourishing marriage, I love everything about you, but, honestly, I hardly know you. I thought I knew you. I know you better than anyone else, but I thought I knew lots of people well—until I read George Vaillant’s Triumphs of Experience. Now it’s clear. We don’t know nobody. No wonder you keep surprising me.
