Temperature is part of my married romance.Coming to New York from Baltimore--where there is just one small snowstorm eachyear---I was 36 by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 37 allday, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.

My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario,where winter 38 from September to May and cold wind is 39. “WhenCanadians have 30 below, they 40 it.” He says. “Cold wind is forcrybabies.”

So to marry this man I had to learn to 41for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozenHudson, Peter piled me 42 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, evena hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots—comfortably warm at Canada’s 30below, was a 43 we were getting serious

That first winter together, living in upstateNew York, I thought I’d 44. My boots were good below freezing, but myfingers could 45 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it cameslowly. And there is also emotional 46 to cold. Some days I tell myselfthat I have enough beach memories to stick to on 47 days and other daysI am reminded that living cold does indeed build 48.

49,having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 50went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put ona sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who 51 that cold hands do not meana warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly,I’ve grown, too. I am 52, in this new life and climate, to go and lookfor that cost-saving sweater.

The word comfortable did not 53 refer tobeing contented. Its Latin root, comfortare, means to strengthen. The HolySpirit is Comforter: not to make us comfortable, but to make us 54. We 55not be warm but we are indeed comforted.
