"In marriage, losing is letting go of the need to fix everything for your partner, listening to their darkest parts with a heartache rather than a solution. It's being even more present in the painful moments than in the good times. It's finding ways to be humble and open, even when everything in you says you're right and they are wrong. It's doing what is good for your spouse, even when big things need to be sacrificed, like a job, or a relationship, or an ego. It is forgiveness, quickly and voluntarily. It is eliminating anything from your life, even the things you love, if they are keeping you from attending, caring, and serving." I'm down to be part of this rebellion! How about you? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kelly-m-flanagan/marriage-is-for-losers_b_4369869.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592
