And it comes from a doctorate-holding family therapist, so it has more weight behind it than the mere musings of some married girl from Canada. So here goes: according to Dr. Corey Allan of Simple Marriage, [...] [...] I want to begin by saying what is NOT the point of marriage.

GROW. i thought it was the oddest gift I've ever gotten...BUT...it's also been one of the most insightful gifts I've ever received. GROW - a great four letter word. :) My wife and I read through this post last night and got to talking about the points you brought up. I'm amazed at the growth God has brought in me, in her, in our marriage and also how much more we see He is still growing us in. It's such a cool process! Not always comfortable, not always fun, but nevertheless, we grow. Thanks for the reminder. Looking forward to more posts in the series.

Do I even know what my wife wants for herself? How well have I gotten to know her over our (6) years together? Have I even stopped to care or ask? Truly still a long way to go in growing up.
