It doesn’t mean he’s the more important voice, doesn’t mean his word is final.
Acknowledging his strength doesn’t mean I’m weak.

You can throw the word traditional around like it’s an insult, but our marriage is equal in all the places it needs to be.
I could be my own hero, but it feels good to be married to one too.
