[quote=Anonymous]It's a bit of both? Unfortunately I didn't learn this until the second time around, but marriage is more business than romance. There has to be a true partnership of equals at the core. Especially once there are kids, the machine has to run no matter what and both parties need to be able to pick up whatever the other can't and run with it. Love oils the machine, but there has to be a fundamental compatibility, shared vision, and collaboration that underpins the operation. I loved my first husband, but he wasn't ever my partner. We weren't ever a team and having to carry the load effectively killed anything resembling love. I love my current husband in a way that transcends what I thought possible. He's an amazing partner. We work together, not in parallel. We know what we're working towards. If I drop the ball, he picks it up and keeps running. And I do the same for him. It's probably a bit boring and makes for a very dull Disney movie, but it's pretty amazing from the inside and I swear I find more to love about DH every day. Partnership is hot.  [/quote]
