what IS married life about?
it's about adjustments.
it's about love and caring individuals, who spend..no wait..who pass _ a lot of their time, together. they get to know the other, their aspirations, inhibitions and in some cases,abominations...and they learn how to adjust...
it's about a husband who brings a truck load of expectations that he thinks are going to be had from him (get where i am going with this?) and the sacrifices he should make and the behavior he should have ... and he learns where to adjust..
it's about a wife who comes with a wandering mind which also wonders in the beginning as to how much reality is going to be similar to the picture she painted in her head, albeit, with a LOT of help from her friends/family...and she learns when to adjust...
it's about the father-in-law who suddenly has another set of eyes looking up to him for guidance, and another pair of ears to fill with advice that they may or may not need, and also a new individual that makes him spruce up his act,and become that tad bit more courteous..he learns why to adjust...
it's about the mother-in-law who does not want to adjust, after all it's HER house that the bride is coming in to, and SHE should change herself, not me! oh wait..she's just as clueless, if not more, as i was when i first came into this house...hell, okay fine...a little bit, i can adjust....
finally, and most of all, it's the fact that all of these people do the "adjusting" together, and that's what makes the marriage a team-effort, the team effort breeds a house, and the house a marriage...
