Being married is the best thing in the world. I know the term "life partner" is overused and super cliche, but it really is the best way to describe it. You have another person there to do life with you, whom you love more than anyone, and who loves you more than anyone. There are no secrets between you, and just knowing that you both can know each other completely and still love each other just as you are is incredibly liberating.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
