But I think it shows us two things.
First, it shows us that any deviation from the norm can be met with curiosity and even judgment.
It also shows us that sometimes when we decide to do things a little differently, we can avoid the difference between having a really challenging day as a couple or a smooth day by simply accepting our differences not as a couple, but as individuals.
Instead of trying to change our partners, what if we instead embraced their differences, our difference in values, and released the pressure of doing what everyone else is doing?
It's OK to be a stay-at-home dad.
It's OK if you prefer to travel without each other.
It's OK if you need to have your own bedrooms so you can maintain personal space and be sane for each other.
It's OK if you want to break tradition and create a new last name.
It's OK if you want to share your love on social media, but it's also OK if you want to protect it from public opinion.
It's OK if you're in a season of life where you both just cannot prioritize sex.
It's OK if people are confused about your relationship.
It was never theirs to understand in the first place.
If we continue to accept the narrative that relationships are hard, then we'll continue to do nothing about it.
If our relationships feel hard, I encourage us to reflect on what is hard about it.
Is it really the relationship, or is it external factors like our own personal trauma histories or work stress?
If it really is your relationship, let's really think about what you and your partner are willing to do differently to enjoy it again.
I want us to reject everything we've ever known about relationships and challenge ourselves to create a relationship that not only defies expectations, but honors the peculiarities that make us us.
Thank you.
