Brought a tear to my eye. Congratulations!!!

It is my view that relationships continually prod us to do more personal growth. Love brings up things within us - like our insecurities - to focus us on the tasks of inner growth, skillbuilding, healing, wholeness, and so forth. When a couple is able to see and name challenges in a way that recognizes that challenges are a natural and good part of relating, then the "threat" of challenges diminishes, and both partners develop solid trust that they can face and overcome obstacles together.
The path to true intimacy is paved with conflict...damn hard to work on our conflict resolution skills when we live alone.
