G'day Bob and Julia,
I tend to disagree with you both.
I am of the opinion that the course of true never runs smooth. Neither for young lovers nor old lovers.
I have loved my wife truely for more than 20 years and expect to love her for atleast as many again but our love has never run smoothly.
There are constant bumps and niggles that require constant attention from us both or we would both cease to be an us and become a them.
The course of true love never ever runs smooth.

Boredom and complacency and ruts are smooth but love is sparky and dangerous and edgy and life.

.,,
Life loves completely proud and true or exists behind bleak fears
