Marriage is a very hard thing to describe to someone. There are so many things that go into a marriage that many people don't even think about. Communication, decisions, children, divorce, living, work, outside family, and many other things. Just the thought of everything that goes into a marriage is mind blowing and gives me a headache just thinking about it for 10 minutes. A couple must discuss everything and make a decision as a whole. One person can make a decision without counseling with their spouse, an argument will happen and feelings will be hurt. The word communication is used so vaguely, that people really don't know what it means. Discussing important matters with your husband/wife is such a great way to keep a marriage healthy and strong. I have learned so much about marriage that a whole book can be written.
