“You grow up seeing your parents’ marriage as ‘normal,’ and that’s your expectation for your marriage. But your spouse’s ‘normal’ may be completely different. Your marriage isn’t going to look like either set of parents or anyone else’s. Your marriage will be what you and your spouse build.”
“A sense of humor, allowing each other to be who you are, encouraging each other’s goals, supporting each other’s down times, loving the other person even when you don’t like them at that given moment has gotten us to 48 years of marriage. And I love him more than ever, even when he aggravates me.”
Amen!
