Essay

I am about to get married. Maybe. Probably. And as a part of this whole thing, I find myself spending hours—hours—discussing the particulars of what this marriage is going to look like. What rules are we going to have? How are we going to keep each other safe and make one another feel chosen, loved, and special? How indeed.
