From independent to blended lives, marriage takes a skillful dance of minds and unpacking habits, emotions, and idiosyncrasies. You cannot start from scratch. You bring on point to the table of a new life together all that you know and those of which you are ignorant. Day by day, you learn about one and the other’s ways of doing things, even the minutest ones. You learn to bring up ideas that are safe or unsafe, significant or unimportant. You learn to bring them up in the right time, and you learn to suffer the consequences of bringing up issues of unimportance, and enjoy the delightful results of issues bearing great substance. You discover perks of going home to the same person and joys of laughter the other person puts in your life. You learn to get supportive of the other’s endeavors no matter how small it could be. You learn to faintly ignore one’s annoying mannerisms. You begin to appreciate all the efforts contributed to keeping and making a house a home. You learn the true meaning of love for one and the other when disappointing circumstances happen and you realize there is that other person sitting with you, standing beside you, embracing you and comforting you. Best of all, you learn that no matter what happens, the other person who pledged to love you would be truly there for you in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer whether it be the first, the seventh, the sixteenth, the twenty eighth, and yes, the thirty third year and counting … of your life together!
