My parents have been married more than 40 years and they have continued to be a best friend to each other. Here's why: When we were growing up, my parents told us that "they each came first to each other, and that we came first to them as s unit." Parenting is extremely taxing on a marriage —lose sight of what came first and your relationship is sunk. Not only did they set the tone for partnership, their perspective created a solid foundation between the two of them that they're reaping the benefits of today now that we're grown and out of the house. It also prevented us from being able to play one against the other. While I'm sure they didn't always agree, they had those discussions in private and always maintained a united front. They understood that we were an extension of them, therefore if they put their marriage first, they would always have more strength, love and power to raise us in addition to enjoying a healthy and strong connection within their marriage.
