"Ultimately, I think marriage is like two intertwined trees...
They balance and support each other while growing together. Each of the branches signifies your interests as individuals or things that you’re willing to compromise on; as such, they go off in different directions based on your own innate passions or by choice.
However, living branches are always connected to their trunks, the trunk being the core of the individual and, when intertwined, of the relationship. If you can’t make things work at this fundamental level, then the other trunk is no longer a supporting double, it’s just suffocating."
