After 34 years I feel like I'm getting to be an expert at my marriage. But not marriage in general. When I hear how other people do things in their own marriages, I'm like, "you people are weird. That would never work for us." And it's totally fine with me if they think the same about us. >

They say you need, at least, 10.000 hours to become a master at a task.. You might claim you spend about 1000 to 3000 hours with a person you're married to, each year so.. But then there is also the art of not being constantly together that may improve marriage.. You could become a master of your own marriage but a master of all marriages? ..I seriously doubt that. >

If you get married, then divorced but never marry again you're not an expert although you only did it once. >

That's an interesting perspective! Marriage certainly isn't something that can be mastered in one go, but it's definitely something that can be learned quickly, especially if both partners are dedicated to making it work. >

Marriage is not a point in time, it's something you do every hour while it lasts.
