I love telling people I'm married. I have been looking forward to being married for half my life, and I just fuckin' love it.
Not only do I proudly say that I'm married, but Mrs. Levite and I sometimes affectionately address one another as "Wife" and "Husband."
And lest ye crack jokes, as did one of my single friends, about me being whipped, I will note that I said to him, "Maybe, but if you weren't in my living room, I'd be having sex right now."
