The husband of the new department chair is a judge. Meaning, he is very busy at work. But he came early to campus this morning and found somebody to unlock the department for him to leave a bouquet of flowers and a sheaf of patriotic balloons to mark his wife’s first day as department chair. He is a Republican, and she is Venezuelan hence the patriotic balloons.
These people have been married for over 25 years and have three children. And they still have such a romantic, beautiful marriage. I’m not saying that this is because they are Republicans, of course. My closest friend at the department is far left and also in an extremely loving marriage with a bunch of happy children. He lights up like a Christmas tree whenever anybody mentions his wife, even in passing.
It’s beautiful. It makes me so happy to observe these wonderful, profound, long-lasting marriages.
