I gave you three “claps” and followed you, so I hope you don’t take this the wrong way.

I understand the appeal of #thatsinglelife, and I know that our generation’s issues with forming intimate relationships aren’t exactly our fault (thank you, MSN, SMS, and FB), but I’m 25 and I’ve been married for two years, a father for almost six months, and it has been the most rewarding and refining experience I could ever imagine.

Nothing in this life will ask you to be more vulnerable and humble. And I know that’s terrifying, but it’s a fear so worth facing.

I encourage anyone and everyone reading this to do whatever you need to do to swallow your pride and let someone in all the way. And find someone who will do the same for you.
