5 Signs You're in a Healthy Marriage
Falling in love is the fun part, the liberating and
thrilling part. There is also the wedding day: the apex of your romance.
Two people star in
their own drama, a gorgeous fuss is made about them, sacred vows are exchanged,
and they ride off into the sunset together — years of blissful union stretching
out before them (of course).
But a happy and
healthy marriage begins after the music stops and the formalwear is stowed

safe to be your authentic self. There are no facades, no masks, no pressures to
morph yourself into anyone other than who you are.

individuality. Marriage is not enmeshment; it's two distinct identities with unique

through life alongside each other.
