Marriage

Keep Dancing !

Art is totally different for everyone. People look at art differently and have totally different tastes, they do art differently and have different talents and appreciate art differently. As with marriage everyone's marriage is different and like art we must figure out what works for our own marriages and find ways to be and stay happy in our marriages. Marriage is a journey and a delicate dance. You and your dance partner are going to step on each others toes now and again, actually a lot.  keep dancing !
