Several months ago I went to dinner with my husband and some friends. We were at a supper club and sharing a table with an older couple. Because we were late, our friends had started to tell the other couple about us and, as I settled into my seat, I overheard them talking about my husband.

Now, maybe because it had been a while since we saw each other and he wasn’t sure of the exterior details we usually use to introduce people—job, education, hobbies—or maybe he just knew that I needed to hear something else that evening so that I could right this article, but our friend didn’t talk about the superficial things.
