Marriage is a fortress. It’s a place where our spouse is safe, and we are safe. It’s a place where our spouses can relax and be themselves, knowing that they will not be criticized or judged for their actions.
Marriage is a fortress of love and understanding, where two people who love each other can lay down their weapons and live in peace. Marriage is where we feel safe to open up about our thoughts and emotions because we know that our spouse won’t use them against us later on. It’s where we can share all of our dreams, no matter how crazy or far-fetched they may seem.
Marriage should be a place where we can share anything and everything with each other without fear of being judged or criticized for it; it should be a place where we feel completely safe to let go of all control and give up all control over things that don’t matter to gain the most important thing: peace.
