sillygoosegirlI feel that we are two individuals leading one life. I wouldn't have it any other way. Since we decided to get married, everything either of us does impacts the other, and every major decision is likely to impact the other for the rest of our lives. There's no getting around that without having less of a relationship.
Each gear in a clock is no less an individual gear for being part of a clock, and the clock is no less a clock for being made up of individual gears. The collection of gears that become a clock become something more than the sum of their parts. Where as the clock that losses a gear becomes a partial clock, a broken clock. Each gear is still an individual gear, but also part of a broken clock which will never run correctly without the missing gear or a replacement. I think individuals and couples are like this. I am all of a person and half of a couple. I can't be one of these things more than I am the other, as each is true in the absolute. One and one is not two, nor is it one, it's three.
