I would be lying through my teeth if I claimed that my interest in my wife has always been purely spiritual, and that from the moment I met her, her walk with God, all by itself, was all that made my heart sing. Although I always have and still do love her for that, she also caught my eye just as quickly and easily as she captured my heart.
That being the case, I have, since the moment we met, always wanted to know that she finds me physically attractive as well.
Some years ago we, along with her parents, took a family vacation. While there, we decided to take in an excellent aquarium nearby. And among the very cool exhibits in that aquarium was a penguin habitat; an interactive penguin habitat. There were tunnels under the water that would allow you to pop up inside clear plastic bubbles in the midst of the penguin habitat. You simply got down on your hands and knees, crawled through one of the many tubes, stood up at the right moment and were nose to beak with those cute little black and white critters. It must have looked odd, I suppose, to those penguins, to have land-based bipeds ogling them in their habitat. Nonetheless, the penguins all seem to take it in stride, as if they were tiny celebrities enjoying the attention.
We were in that display for a good while. And at some point, my wife leaned over to her mother, pointed at me crawling around in my black jeans, and commented, “My husband has such a cute backside.”
I do not need any recording to prove to me that she actually said it; I just so happened to be standing behind her as she did.
