Absence makes the heart want more

My would've been step-sister and her husband had jobs that kept them apart for the majority of the week for the early years of their marriage. (Maybe 5-7 years).

When they made the decision to start a family and change that, they nearly self-destructed.

What had been a marriage envied by all of their friends was quickly becoming a powder-keg of two people who couldn't stand to be under the same roof without throwing acidic words at one another.

I worry that too much of an amazing thing will consume us.

I worry that not enough of an amazing thing will make us feel neglected/neglectful.

I'll need your help in finding balance.

I know this is complicated but I believe that the time that we've spent looking will make us more dedicated to figuring it out.

I can already feel the calming influence you will have over me as I worry that now that I've found you I'll do something to lose you. You won't let me get in our way.

And lucky for me, your strength and control keeps you from being able to be consumed doesn't it?
