The maturerelationship image I like best is two people making music together. Each plays his/her own instrument and useshis/her own unique skills, but they play the same song. Each is whole and complete. Each is independent and committed.

Thisis one of my favorite descriptions for marriage. I especially like the last sentence: each is independent and committed. I’m convinced that you cannot healthily enterinto a marriage if you do not have a sense of your own self; if you are notcommitted to your own growth.
Iget a bit nervous when someone tells me that their partner is their life. I think a partner can give life to another,but to ask that person to be the other’s life is both unfair and unreasonable.
I’malso drawn to the first sentence: a goodrelationship is based on unconditional love. In marriage and especially in the weddingceremony that phrase “unconditional love” is tossed about. BUT, what does it mean for you to love yourpartner unconditionally? What do youthink is expected of you when you love unconditionally? Answer those two questions and you are in asure place to both offer and receive each other’s vows.
