How it’s different.
Bryan has just a handful of guy friends who are married. After our engagement he asked one of them, How is it different? Being married as to just being committed to each other? What’s the benefit?
His friend told him the good was still good, but the bad, the fights, the life choices, no matter how fraught with difficulty and urge for flight, you stay and remain and work through it. And it doesn’t seems as bad knowing that you will get through it and it will be okay.
I’m thankful for this perspective. And I think it’s one that Bryan and I share.
