I met my spouse playing basketball. (Of course I did.)
More than anything, I felt at home. I remember telling her that my love for her was like a prayer: sacred, and filled with awe, wonder, and hope.
Here's what I didn't know yet. Feeling at home doesn't make you immune. In our first few years together, my depression and my addiction came roaring back. Being in love didn't keep them away.
What changed things was what came after the easy part: me doing my own work, and her loving me with limits.
If the "at home" feeling has gotten quiet in your marriage, it doesn't mean it's gone. Sometimes it means the real marriage has just begun.
