"You and your spouse are a team of two. It is you against the
world. No one else is allowed on the team, and no one else will ever understand
the team's rules. This is okay. The team is not adversarial, the team does not
tear its members down, the team does not sabotage the team's success. Teammates
work constantly to help and better their teammates. Loyalty means you put the
other person in your marriage first all the time, and you let them put you
first. Loyalty means subverting your whims or desires of the moment to better
meet your spouse's whims or desires, with the full understanding and
expectation that they will be doing the same. This is the heart of everything,
and it is a tricky balance. Sometimes it sways one way and sometimes the other.
Sometimes he gets to be crazy, sometimes it's your turn. Sometimes she's in the
spotlight, sometimes you. Ups and downs ultimately don't matter, because the
team endures."
