Jog - done.
I was watching the movie "Shall We Dance" today. It is one of my favorite movies and have seen it a few times. One dialog from the movie touched me the most.
When asked why one gets married, wife of the protagonist replies
We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."
So beautiful! We generally share the good parts and sometimes the bad parts, with others. But mostly what we share and thus what other get to know are only the important things. Nobody has time to listen to a commentary of our life and nor do we have time to share. But in a marriage, you know there is one person who witnesses everything - the interesting and the uninteresting.
