We all know art is hard

Yo, I'm not sure what people mean when they say marriage is easy, even in the honeymoon period. Marriage is work. I love my wife dearly, with my life, but that doesn't mean we don't misunderstand one another, misjudge and hurt one another.

I remember an ex-girlfriend telling me about her sister, and her sister's failing marriage. Her sister had told her that despite all the heartache and anger, at night in bed all of that fell away. I completely understand, though no relationship is sustainable by spooning at night, or kisses on the face in the morning.

I have a lot of growing up to do. We both do.
