She said yes. I asked whether marriage is really made up of the everyday, or whether it is those high-high and low-low times that either makes or breaks it. She says it is mostly everyday---and that the bad marriages sometimes are only good on like birthdays and Christmas. It has to be the everyday time. ...But, this girl also lost her mother within the first year of her marriage, when she was only your age...and I think that that time of crisis also strengthened their marriage. Perhaps that indicated that they would be together forever, through that first time of tragedy, through future times of tragedy...and through all the everydayness they experience now. I'm happy for them and for you. All I want is to experience this myself someday.
