On the intention -- I see an intention as a possibility, and perhaps a way of being. Of course, there is nothing wrong with patience. It might matter not whether your intention lights up the person you share it with, but rather whether it lights you up, or lights up your soul, or the future you're living into.
Certainly, in the midst of marital uncertainty, patience is a virtue.

Have a great year!
