Even if that means having a good laugh at the bits of it that wobble independently, occasionally, that’s all right.

How do you ever feel normal?” - Rachel Lloyd

We used all the skill that we have and yet it was still unresolved. In those three times we sought professional help because there was a blind spot for each of us.

But we still keep working on it until we both say that we feel complete, we understand our own part and responsibility in the issue rather than simply blaming each other, are willing to go on, and there is an even deeper connection and sometimes even humor to the situation. In working each issue through to completion we have been able to retain a beautiful lightness in our relationship that we both cherish.” - Joyce Vissell
