I thought this statement by Steinbeck was worth repeating:

“A journey is like marriage. The way to be wrong is to think you control it.” – John Steinbeck

I had never thought of a marriage being like a journey but it is also true. But, what I can be sure of is if you are going to make the journey of a marriage make sure this is your best friend who has your back. Otherwise you might not survive this journey whether it is across the street or around the world. We all need someone who has our back but you also have to have their back too for it to work.
