Love is the reason for it all. The desire to love and be loved drives and animates the human person. People seem to want other things—power, money, status—but, in the end, they want those things in order to win love. We need it, we deserve it, and it’s always at the front of our minds, especially during the first few weeks of February.
Love has been front and center in my personal life as of late. I was married four months ago, on an overcast day in California. Though I would like to share my many thoughts on marriage and the decision to get married at some point, I think it’s probably best to take a little more time to process it all and get back to you. The Wedding Industrial Complex, on the other hand, is something I have been exploring quite a bit in standup. That stuff practically writes itself.
