“In an age when so much envy-inducing relationship content is packaged for public consumption, it’s worth aiming for a marriage that won’t compute (to paraphrase Wendell Berry). Stockpile references that are incomprehensible to outsiders, inside jokes that are teeth-grating for onlookers, and then don’t worry when you forget where they came from in the first place.” I really loved this essay. Thanks for the shoutout, too.
Love the idea of marriage as a work of art you have to show up to every day. Definitely the most encouraging and beautiful thing I’ve read on marriage in a long time!
reading such a beautiful book about marriage and the way it breaks you down and builds you up called “Mystery of Marriage” by Mike Mason. Definitely recommend. Wonderful piece!
So many amazing paragraphs in this, I wanted to restack them all!! Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts - as a newlywed and a writer, they really spoke to me.

Great essay!
This was really beautiful. Thank you for writing it.
Very interesting article. Lots of thought provoking ideas, especially the one regarding how we potentially connect consumerism and relationships.
This was lovely. Thank you for it.
