What counts in making a happy marriage is...

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. - Leo Tolstoy

The core of true intimacy is being able to tolerate the anxiety of being yourself in the presence of another person... without backing off, without pretending, without trying to imitate or be the person your partner WANTS you to be. When you break past that barrier, a brand new kind of marriage is possible for you. - Dr. Max
