Someone once told me a story about long term relationships. 

To think of them as a continent to explore. 

I could spend a lifetime backpacking through Africa, 

and I would still never know all there is to know about that continent. 

To stay the course, to stay intentional, to stay curious and connected – that’s the heart of it. But it’s so easy to lose track of the trail, to get tired, 

to want to give up, or to want a new adventure. 

It can be so easy to lose sight of the goodness and mystery within the person 

sitting right in front of you.
