Marriage is the most challenging relationship we will undertake. No one will push our buttons like our spouse. No one else will reveal our deepest longings, unhealed woundedness, character flaws, and immaturity like our spouse. In those moments we have the choice of attacking them for exposing us, or of owning it and seeking to grow up. In short, marriage is the ultimate discipleship tool. ~ Michael Sytsma, PhD
