Marriage, not easy. Let's face it, the heady phase must fade away sooner or later. Reality sets in and soon sobers you up. The very things you thought so cute or that don't matter, do. Daily domestic drudgery comes along. It is that which can be the enemy to happiness.
Could it be said that those with the greatest patience, stamina, self discipline and ability to accept reality are the ones that last longest?
There probably comes a certain crossroads when you decide, maybe not even consciously, whether you will continue or cut your losses. If you can get past that time, that's when the rewards truly build and eventually become a treasure trove sustained into old age. Then only death will part you.
Sweet elderly couples married for an eternity get asked the question. What's the secret?
