There are some very important and precious people here on DU, including yourself, with whom I'm as certain as a human can be I'd revel in the kind of times I've had in my life that stand out - often remembered in my mind's eye as sitting on the floor in a small diverse group around a coffee table talking into the wee hours of the morning after the dinner party is over and lightweights have left and kids are in bed, delving into the subjects where only courageous candor and compassionate insight permit fruitful discussions. Magic times. Magic people. Maybe some day again. (sigh)

In marital relationships, it's not so mcuh about falling down ... it's about whether they have the courage and commitment to their mutual love and respect to hold that above transient indiscretions. Sadly, it takes at least some effort from both.
