The only thing I remember him ever saying about her was when he told Monroe that he thought she was a wonderful mother, and he sounded as if that had been a surprise to him.
We all saw the same thing Face. Like most people, their love for each other was not like a switch that got turned on. If anything, that switch was turned off and it was slowly turned on, more as a dimmer switch than an on and off, as they parented and lived with each other.
Like most people, there isn't one thing that makes you love someone its a progression. IMO, Like you said. It was Nicks observation of how a wonderful mom she was with his son, Kelly. That might have had the start of his relationship but not the one reason.
None of us are perfect but when you love someone, you tend to overlook the dislikes of that person and learn to accept and deal with those imperfections. That is what love is all about, hence the term, "Love is in the eyes of the beholder".
Me and my wife love each other in many ways than we did then, over 40 years ago. Do I know how? Hell no, I just know I do. Are we perfect? Hell no. But we have become better at dealing with our imperfections. Maybe that is why its more and different then it was then.
Like I said, Adalind being a great mom might have been the catalyst for the Nadalind arc to grow but not why they ended up as a loving couple.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
