Seasoned

Today we received a sweet thank you note from the friends who were our recent houseguests. In the note they said, “Staying with a seasoned couple was good for our marriage.” Now I know that is a compliment, but I also know that seasoned here means old. We have been married forever and have been through a lot of life together. I guess seasoning is just what comes from living a long time. It is nice that someone finds us to be well seasoned.

Seasoned wood burns cleaner and hotter. Seasoned steaks take better. Burning or eating them too soon detracts from their beauty. Some thing simple can't be rushed. I don't know if they meant to say your marriage was hot and delicious, but it has certainly put off enough heat to keep me warm and to leave a lingering sweet taste in my mouth about marriage.
I think that was a perfect word choice!
