A wise man once taught that there is no greater joy than the joy of developing and improving your character traits. That's what growth is all about. That's the meaning of fulfilling your potential. Marriage is the perfect venue for that. It demands that you think in terms of we rather than me, and that you dig deep into your soul to bring forth tenderness, affection, and forgiveness buried there.
