This is so great.
"Maybe, every time we say to our partner, "We need to get back to the way we were," we aren't at all honoring the way we were, which was new and shining. When we feel resentment and resistance because things don't feel that way anymore, we're robbing those special things of their sweetness. We turn them into something negative, something that must not have been real and can be used as evidence that everything is wrong."
I can be guilty of this and it's a reminder that celebrating where we're at NOW is special too.

@birdofafeather: yes! I always thought of that trend/tendency in terms of a relationship's length but now that we have a baby I find myself thinking it in terms of pre-baby life/relationship.. which is not only pointless (and impossible) it's potentially hurtful. I'm sharing it with DH and bookmarking it to mull over it again in the future
