• Over the weekend, I learned that a married couple who I have known for a very long time and who both are very dear to me are separated (and have been for over a year…wha?) and are certainly headed towards divorce.
This is the SIXTH couple we know that married after us that is either separated, in…
Good thing to think about. Part of the reason that I didn’t get married was that I didn’t think that the relationship had everything it needed to make the distance. Now I realize that a lot of that was me needing to grow, mature and develop. But I think that there’s something to be said for looking beyond the OMG we’re so happy dating phase and the whirlwind engagement to the potential “just two people living together in close quarters” phase. Both individuals need to be ready to make the (forever, hopefully) committment and be ready to fight through the inevitable hard times, together.
