My thoughts are rarely edited before they are spoken. Regrets, isolation, and distance are the result.

Denial and avoidance combined with daily trials and tribulations can lead to the destruction of a relationship. The goal of any healthy marriage is for each partner to constantly strive for self-improvement. Marriage is a dance that can’t be done alone.
