in my experience
Marriage is the daily decision of two people to be naked (physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually) in the presence of another person and to not be ashamed.
Marriage is the daily decision of two people to stand back to back with each other to face the difficulties of life and to defend each other fiercely from others and even from themselves.
Marriage is the daily decision of two people to honor each others imperfections as deeply as they honor their perfections.
Marriage is the daily decision of two people to go deeper in their knowledge of the other person
Marriage is the daily decision of two people to stay put and work things through rather than turning and walking away.
Marriage is the daily decision of two people be open to the new life that can spring from their love (sometimes this comes in the form of babies... but only sometimes)
