“Love is a painful, poignant, touching attempt by two flawed individuals to try and meet each other’s needs – with gross uncertainty and ignorance about who they are and who the other person is. But we’ll do our best.” Alain de Botton
If there was a magic pill to take that would make you look and feel great, but at least 50% of the people died after taking that pill…would you take it?
If you could place a bet and there was a 50% chance to either win $1MM or lose every dime you had…would you place that bet?
Let’s say there was a 50% chance that your beach house is destroyed by a hurricane, would you live there?
That might lead you to question the validity of marriage altogether.
Certainly, the structure of marriage could use a little evolution…
But maybe we should, instead, question how we’re showing up inside the marriage that’s making us want to end it at least half the time.
It’s not that marriage – in and of itself – is bad or flawed. We aren’t equipped to do it well.
It’s also not that we’re bad people. We are good people who are doing the best we can, but screw it up far more often than we care to admit.
Get equipped so your marriage can work for both of you.
