Yeah, we're all in the middle, I think. Your description of happiness is great- I just really am not sure that is attainable on an every day basis. I don't stay with my husband because I don't want to be alone, I stay with him because I love him, he is my family and my best friend. Do I long to hear his voice or feel his touch? No, not all the time. And there are some days, I can't stand to hear his voice!!! haha Not often, but realistically, I don't think any relationship is as glorious as you describe.

Maybe I'm wrong... If so, I'm screwed, I guess.
