I liked your post. Agreed with Marshall’s 10 tips too! However, I think there’s something else too. Having the family, and following all this wise advice provides extra glue for when the two of you hit the inevitable sticky patch. They provide purpose and meaning to your relationship, so you better just make sure you get it right, because someday they’ll be reminding you of the past. You know you’ve got it right when they become your friends, and they are each others’ friends. That’s when you know it was all worth it, and sticking to “your way” was the right way. Thanks for sharing.
