Self-Expansion and the "ME" Marriage

At Chocolate Chip we believe healthy marriages are the foundation of healthy families.  Consider us your resource for strengthening your marriage as you strengthen your family.

To that end, we are sharing, The Happy Marriage Is the ‘Me’ Marriage, by Tara Parker-Pope recently published by the New York Times.  The article examines the evolution of marriage from primarily an economic and social institution to contemporary unions where individual emotional and intellectual needs and the desire for spouses "who make their lives more interesting" is critical. 

So is self-expansion, "how individuals use a relationship to accumulate knowledge and experiences", the key to happy and sustainable relationships?  Click the link below to read the article, then post your comments below on the blog.
