A long-term relationship is about showing up and working hard and banking on each other. If one's down, the other might be up and can help the other one up, and sometimes you're both down and you just [band] together. Endurance is a big theme of it for me.

I feel guilty that the kids had to be grown in her body and she hasn't been able to work.
