Marriage – what is it?

Been pondering this thought lately and I have come up with my initial draft on the subject. However, you have to read it right through.
Marriage is about self sacrifice. Caring for someone so much that you place them and their needs above yours. However, the kicker is that both parties must possess a spirit of self sacrifice. Both parties putting the needs of the other before their own. When this happens only then can you truly work together to figure out how to move forward based on “we” decisions not “me” decisions.
