this is a microcosm of marriage. There is a lot of Did you use up all the creamer? and Are you going by the post office today? but every now and then, there are moments of transcendence: when you rise in tandem the moment your daughter crosses the stage at fifth-grade graduation; when you glance across the table at a dinner party and have an entire conversation in silence; when you catch yourself looking around at your home and your family and think: This. We did all this.
