his heart beat to the rhythm of his wife's Explanation: Though 'in rhythm with' is possible, the phrase 'to the rhythm of' may be the one that is more commonly used (by native speakers), e.g., "dancing to the rhythm of the music" or "to the rhythm of the beat." Another more formal option might be "...to the rhthm of that of his wife" (striking a slightly more formal tone, which may be appropriate as well). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2019-12-25 03:53:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With respect to the use of 'woman,' I'm with you, Barbara. :-) "...his heart beat to the rhythm of his woman's" or "...his heart beat to the rhythm of that of his woman" or perhaps even "...his heartbeat aligned to that of his woman" Cheers and happy holidays from Vietnam :-) |
