Good marriages do not neglect the individual

A lasting marriage does not always signal a happy marriage. Plenty of miserable couples have stayed together for children, religion or other practical reasons. But for many couples, it's just not enough to stay together. They want a relationship that is meaningful and satisfying. In short, they want a sustainable marriage.
一段持久的婚姻未必是快樂的。太多同床異夢的怨偶是因為孩子、宗教或這現實生活的考量勉強還湊在一塊 兒。多數人在婚姻中所期待的不只是一段為期甚長的婚姻關係，他們希望在婚姻中得找到有意義，且令人滿足的關係。簡而言之，就是一段可長可久，且滿足踏實的婚姻關係。
