Balancing Marriage and Business

Interesting article about the business of marriage, written from an emotional point of view.

To further her metaphor of being "in or out", the day she married the guy, she said she bought 100% of him. She's not a stakeholder in his business, she's a stakeholder in him. Her decision to break her nest egg to bail him out isn't an investment in a business she doesn't believe in, it's an investment in a person she believes in.

And this, is faith. Her faith is not based on projected certainties, securities, money, profit, and success. Rather, her faith is placed in a person, and in a relationship you can personally vouch for, for better or worse, for richer or poorer. Having faith doesn't mean things will be good; it means that no matter how bad things get, and they are likely to get very bad, the relationship will still be there.
