“Have a Little Faith” by Mitch Albom

I think people expect too much from marriage today. They expect perfection. Every moment should be bliss. That's TV or movies. But that is not the human experience. Twenty good minutes here, forty good minutes there, it adds up to something beautiful. The trick is when things aren't so great, you don't junk the whole thing. It's okay to have an argument. It's okay that the other one nudges you a little, bothers you a little. It's part of being close to someone. But the joy you get from that same closeness—when you watch your children, when you wake up and smile at each other—that is a blessing. People forget that.

Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.
