Marriage as a Growth Machine
David Schnarch's 'Passionate Marriage' challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that marriage itself prepares us for marriage through 'differentiation'—maintaining selfhood while being intimate with another person.
Marriage as a Growth Machineのベスト引用
Nobody's ready for marriage—marriage makes you ready for marriage. It is a people-growing machine where the conflicts and tensions that arise aren't signs something's wrong, but actually opportunities to develop emotional maturity.
