Better Together

This week is the final edition of the journey into my past through song. Thanks for joining me this month; I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.

Our last song is “Better Together” by Jack Johnson, and I believe this song (lyrics, rhythm and all) completely encapsulates what it means to be a couple. It was true when we had been dating for a lengthy period of time, and now, after nearly six years of marriage (10 years of being a couple), it still remains true. And what couple doesn’t relate to at least one Jack Johnson song?

When I hear this song though, I think of the everyday: running the errands together, going to college, cleaning house, and sinking into the couch for a movie after a long day at work. While I can do all of these things on my own, it’s just so much better to do them together.
