A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.
Every time I'd get a critique or some redirection, I'd always just take it very personally. Now I have no problem with it.
