If you don’t mind I’m going to steal this passage and give it to all of my young adult children: “Life is hard. Marriage should be a refuge from the struggles we face—not the struggle itself. We get to choose how we build our marriages. Like any other skill, marriage takes practice and a strong foundation. Being a good partner is something you work at every day. Learning to love being of service to your spouse, to problem solve, to cultivate intimacy when it becomes less natural—these skills can be honed with the right person at your side. When shit hits the fan, what will remain are your habits. If you’re in the habit of serving, loving, and giving grace to your spouse, when life gets hard, that muscle memory kicks in. So yes, marriage takes work. But the more you practice being a good partner, the easier it gets.”
This is 1000% true. No truer words. Congratulations to Bianca and your mother on their marathon finish! Best wishes to the both of you for a long and love-filled marriage.
