It’s the ultimate stage of a romantic relationship, but it’s not a finish line. You still need to work hard to maintain the relationship daily… If you take your spouse for granted once married, that’s when the marriage crumbles. “Never stop dating your spouse!” To me, a great marriage is the best thing ever. But also, a shitty marriage is fucking terrible.
To me it goes: Good Marriage > Good Relationship > Single > Bad Relationship > Bad Marriage
