		<description><![CDATA[Loving someone means so many things; some of it is simple and straight-forward, but much of it is complicated. Loving your obnoxious teenager, for example, can be hard (e.g., me, from 12-19 wasn't a cakewalk for my parents). Loving your parents or siblings despite the random things they do/say or have done/said is just a soul-deep thing and I've realized that I can only accept who they are and love that real person and try to understand them. But there's that you're-a-part-of-me love deeply embedded. However, sharing your life with someone you love, a partner, a helpmate, is much harder. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Equality in a marriage can be difficult to achieve. When children are part of the equation, it's much easier to set aside the generally selfish desire for procrastination and good-enough for the greater good. However, when children are not part of the equation, both parties avoid confrontation like an overdue-but-still-acceptable-within-the-next-week term paper, and one party has fibromyalgia, it can be much more difficult. ]]></description>
