Was traveling on Friday and at the gate in Baltimore there was a couple sitting near me that were the embodiment of the bride and groom that sit atop most wedding cakes. The bride was perfect from head to toe, gorgeous dress, perfect matching shoes, amazing smile, silky dark hair. The groom, tall, dark, and equal to his mate, a rarity to see by the way in travels.
As I went to pick up my stuff to board the plane I noticed that the two nearly perfect humans. outwardly at least, young married couple, were both playing the same video game on their identical smart phones. I said "are you playing against each other?" The response, in perfect unison of course, "no."
I realize that I know nothing about how to a relationship work, and so I concede that ignoring each other playing video games on your phones while waiting to travel some where together might very well be a the key to successful marriage, but I highly doubt it.
Put your phones, iPads, iPods and whatnot down and please, please at least speak to each other.
