I think we're all bad partners in a marriage and all marriages are miserable as a result. That's because we're human and life is hard. That's the only way it can be.
We can grow, we can do our best to be the best flawed person possible, but we'll always be pretty flawed. In the end marriage comes down to two people that understand that.
You know my stance, I think the idea of a 'healthy' marriage is a lie the devil uses to break up families. Too many people fall for that lie. You didn't, and no matter how awful you acted at times I'll always hold you in the highest regard.
But just as marriage can be awful, so can life. The same way we, in a tough marriage, should appreciate what we have and find joy where we can, so too should we in our lives when our marriages crumble. And you are doing just that. There will always be pain to work through, and anger, and flaws to work on, but in the middle each day is a party that God is throwing just for you. If you can enjoy your presents even if it wasn't exactly what you wanted then you have it all. Take care J.
