You have to get past ‘the glow’ in a relationship. At first everything about your mate seems perfect but then conflict comes and you realize how flawed your other is.
Realizing, also, you are flawed, too, helps. You have greater compassion toward your mate. The honeymoon is now over and whether you survive as a couple is how you work out your differences.
It is in the crucible of fire where your survival is determined. Somehow you need to work out differences between you and smooth out the rough edges.
That means there will be conflict between the two of you. And that is normal. Compromise is the key and that is work. Then your real marriage begins. And there is no easy path there. And everybody’s path is different. It is yours alone.

Never put down a drunk. Who are you to judge? That is that person’s weakness. And you know damn well you are imperfect. So who am I to judge simply because alcohol is not one of my problems. God knows I have many weaknesses and sin every day. So never put down a drunk. Remember how imperfect you are and have compassion on that person for you are not there only by the grace of God. So again, never put down a drunk.
