Wisdom teaches that 2 is better than one. Boys are not wise.
Intimacy and vunerabila-something are not words that make much sense to many men. And on this day celebrating love, I am aware of how very much I have yet to learn.
I am in great debt to my wife for 15 Valentines Days. Some are remembered only with sadness. But today we can smile and look forward to fanning the flames of many more heart days.
Love is a complex thing on the best days. Love requires the skillful navigation of a man. Boys need not apply and yet I was a boy when I said "I do". I made many a boyish choice and treated love flippantly.
Loving well is something a man must master. It is something that I will pursue and celebrate for as many Valentine's Days as we have left.
