It’s weird to think that nighttime is the natural state of the universe and daytime is only caused by a nearby, radiating ball of flame.

learning how powerful it is to say “this is what i feel” and “this is what i want” and firmly standing by it

I think most of us know one or two of these

Shout out to my super religious (ex) friend who kept saying her shotgun marriage was “undergoing a rough patch, but with God’s grace we’ll get through it” when what really happened was her husband panicked and ran off a couple months after the wedding - and well before the kid was born - never to be seen again.

IIRC the “rough patch but with God’s grace” updates lasted for something like TWO YEARS after he disappeared. She literally had no idea where he was. She finally divorced him in absentia. But ya know, “rough patch.”

Some good friends of mine are recently married and they talk about this kind of stuff a lot. And I think they’re genuinely well suited to each other and their relationship seems pretty healthy. But the more I read of their blog posts, the more I’m convinced that what they’re talking about isn’t anything unique to marriage, it’s literally just… how relationships are.

Most of the things they talk about as being challenging, are just regular things that I got used to in my relationship months or years ago, because I live with my partner and we have sex. Like I remember reading a passage in a book where this guy was saying he’d never farted in front of his wife before and did the first time a week or so after he got married. And I was just like…. ??? You literally committed to spend the rest of your life with someone who you’re not even physically comfortable around enough to fart in front of?? Or another person talking about how you have this fairy-tale idea of what marriage is going to be, but it’s not glamorous like that, like there’s morning breath and you might butt heads a lot at first. And I’m just sitting there thinking… this just sounds like you’ve never had an adult relationship before.

But most Evangelical Christians don’t really have a typical romantic relationship until after they’ve got married. Like… you “date”, but that relationship isn’t sexual or really physical at all, you don’t share a living space, or really any other big commitments like finances.

In purity culture, Christian relationships are essentially a test period to decide whether or not you want a regular romantic relationship with this person, only you have to sign a legal document to say that this is for the rest of your life in order to access it at all. Which is…… not healthy.

Thank you.

I get angry when I see those horrible “Last chance to escape!” or “ball and chain” things re: marriage. I mean, if that’s how you feel about marriage, don’t get married!

And I’ve always felt sad to hear someone talk about how difficult long-term relationships are. Like, sure they take effort - anything worthwhile takes time to figure out! But things should get *easier* over time, as you and your partner(s) learn and grow together. Love should never shrink in your heart, but blossom beautifully and unexpectedly as you get to know one another better and build shared memories. If you both keep learning and growing.

Love is likely the most important thing we’ll ever participate in. If you’re not getting better at a thing the more you do it, either seek expert help to improve (coach, teacher, therapist), or face that (in this case) you and your partner aren’t working as spouses / partners.

But as long as you both keep trying to be the best partners for one another, there’s no reason people who truly love and respect one another cannot continue to build ever-better relationships ❤

I usually post about fashion but I just find this too important. We need more women like Rima Karaki.
