There are some good marriages, but practically no delightful ones.
God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.
I know some good marriages-marriages where both people are just trying to get through their days by helping each other, being good to each other.
Y'know, every relationship is different. There are good marriages, bad marriages, connected partners, unconnected partners.

What surprises me in life are not the marriages that fail, but the marriages that succeed.
I think another [myth] is that some marriages are just hopeless. This is a common thing I hear from people, "Well, I just think there are some marriages that are hopeless, Dr. Chapman, don't you agree with that?" I say I understand the feeling, but the fact is that there are no marriages that are hopeless.
