We have reached the stage where they don’t stay where you put them. 

Yesterday was my parents’ 36th anniversary.  

These two things may seem unrelated, but they’re not. Because, in marriage, people don’t stay where you left them. They’re constantly growing and changing. Marriage is moving pieces. It’s paying attention to how your pieces move in relationship to the other’s. It’s supporting someone else’s movement. 

It’s saying, “I know you won’t stay where I last saw you, and that’s ok. I’ll keep coming back to wherever you are.”
