I guess it’s nice to know where you are in life And that you have a partner in life.

this line, which makes me happy. Can you imagine if she ever found out 
that I was actually right along this line, how unhappy she would be? 

I may not really understand the phrase, but I will say, to this date,
our marriage has been "as cool as a cucumber." I may not understand it, 
but I am happy if it makes my wife happy. 

Whatever a cucumber has to do with anything, I'm not too concerned
about. Let her have her cucumbers as long as she lets me have my apple 
fritters. A good marriage allows the other to have their way as long as 
their way is not my way. 

Even after 50 years, I'm still trying to navigate this marriage ship.
So, the other day I thought I could make a little more progress in 
this. I said to her, "My, you're as cool as a cucumber." 

I thought I was making progress, but as soon as I said it, she looked at
me and said, "So, you think I'm a cucumber?" 

You try to get along, and sometimes it doesn't really get you too far
ahead. I meant it in the best sense of the word, but she thought I was 
just joking. And here I thought she had high regards for a cucumber. 

That proves that I'm not cool was a cucumber. 

As I thought about this a wonderful passage of Scripture came to mind.
“9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their 
labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe 
to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help 
him up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). 

I guess it's nice to know where you are in life And that you have a
partner in life.
