It's My Pleasure

The idea of a lifetime of love and passion is something we have been fed over and over again. Growing old with one another, staying close and of course keeping that intimacy. But HOW do we actually do that? How do you continue to find vulnerability and intimacy with someone that you have spent more than half your life with?
