Agreed. I think in order to avoid a “war of the sexes” from erupting it is important to focus on the universal truths;
-frustration is bad, for either side.
-Any relationship requires effort put into the relationship. A marriage certificate is not the finish line, but the starting point.
-On either side, if you care about the relationship, his or her happiness is paramount to your happiness.
-Too many relationships are disposed of because of any of the above being neglected.
“A marriage certificate is not the finish line, but the starting point.”
I like that one.
Marriage is a treasure and a joy.
So sad to see so many people speak about it as if it were drudgery - or a type of prison.
Quite true across the board.
“A marriage certificate is not the finish line, but the starting point.”
My understanding is that back in the day mothers would cover this with daughters.
Nowadays it appears a lot of women didn’t get the memo. Marriage is a “goal” but not viewed as you stated so well, “the starting point.”
Men are not just props on the wedding day? No kidding.
