About This Quote

A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love. This quote, at first glance, seems to be saying that a good marriage allows for growth, but upon further consideration, it says that a good marriage allows for growth. It does not say that a good marriage allows for growth in the people involved. It is possible to grow individually and as a couple, but it may be difficult. A change in circumstances demands change in behavior, and the two people involved must make adjustments to accommodate this change.
