Mine grew out of a baby care course offered by a King County nurse—and we’re still together 22 years later! We very quickly determined that it was more helpful to meet without children, and have done so on alternate Wednesday nights since October 1986. We have supported each other through all the usual children’s ailments and development challenges (from toilet training to driver training), our children’s school transitions, first romances and now job searches, as well as the death of parents. We sometimes suspect we’ll be together 30 or 40 years from now in assisted living!
