This is the side of marriage that needs to be shared more with young people: the beautiful steady privilege of getting to know someone more and more each day, through the good and the bad.

(Also- as far as I can tell - you found some beautiful words 😉 let the romantic do their worst. This is the kind of relationship I want to see.)

Thanks friend. I agree—we need more realistic marriages to come into the light so that we don't idealize some Austenian nonsense that isn’t realistic. I say this with all due respect to Jane.

Love this post, Emily. Fun hearing more about out the special man God put in your life. So glad you resisted “ring by spring” during your Ouachita days.

There’s no need to resist when you don’t get an offer 😆 I’m glad I met David when I did.
