“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

This is one of the MOST accurate descriptions of being a young, married couple with little kids, ever set to music. Romance isn't even on the radar, people. It's surviving layoffs...making the best of ruined plans...paying bills you didn't plan for in the budget...sneaking intimacy into the small window of time between your children going to sleep and you collapsing, exhausted, into your own bed....all to the soundtrack of screaming children, barking dogs, educational children's programming, and incessant text alerts.
It's only recently I've been able to embrace this insanity as meaningful and fulfilling. Marriage and family are NOT at ALL what I expected...but that doesn't mean they aren't good. So, you want to know what it's like to be married for 10 years...it's just life, man.
