You meet the ultimate person and commit to spending the rest of your lives together. As life happens, you start noticing some things you weren’t aware of before and you begin wondering if you really want to spend the REST of your life together with this person. Sounds familiar?

In marriages today, we seek for much more than just a person to reproduce with

. We want a lover, a friend, a responsible parent for our kids, a provider, etc. Now, more than ever, we look for emotional intimacy with our partners, an intimacy our parents or grandparents didn’t necessarily recognize as a prerequisite for marriage.
