My views on marriage were a bit more open than not. I was a 60s hippie-adjacent sort, after all.
Burt felt that the commitment was an important turning point. He proposed on the morning of his 51st birthday in 1990.
In retrospect, from where I stand today, being married to Burt was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I am not saying that I would not have been as committed to him, to us, if we had not said I do.
The years that we lived together would be enough commitment for me. Being wed was icing on our cake.
this is our life 
Oh wow Tamara, so beautiful, so powerful, so loving.
What a tremendous declaration.
What an honor to your marriage, to Burt.
