The 'growing up' aspect of this particular post has really resonated with me as I flashback to my own marriage. I hadn't looked at it in that light before, and now having learned much more about myself and my responsibilities see that growing up is indeed a great way to explain it. I remain curious and open minded about two people growing at the same time and it always working. I've found that it can happen when they want it to, and there are some who grow out of their partner because they have grown up and find that the reason they chose to be with their partner no longer has the same hold over them.

I married for the first time at age 48. Marriage has taken me to a very different level of growth - far different, actually, than living with someone in a romantic relationship without marriage. Growth in marriage also involves tremendous emotional risk. Not everyone is capable of taking that risk, and not every marriage is safe enough to explore that risk. (The latter marriages fail.) A unique and different core strength and stability has been developing in me since my marriage, and a similar core strength and stability is developing in my husband as well. Rather fascinating, and fascinating to see in others, too! Wonderful post, and interesting comments! I married for the first time at age 48.
