When the music changes, you must change your dance steps in order not to become an object of laughter.
I grew up in a climate where the regular temperature is sometimes as high as 35 degrees on a normal day. In fact, each time I was in an air-conditioned room of about 18 degrees, I would complain about how cold it was, until a few years ago. When I relocated, I was shocked at how people lived normal lives in temperatures as low as 5 to -5 degrees, or even less.

If we study for a minimum of 15 years before becoming professionals in most fields of endeavours, why should we expect the marriage institution to require less time?
Do you have to review and upgrade how and what you do? E.g how you parent, how you interact with your colleagues, how you love your spouse, etc.
