A short personal reflection by Nate Kennedy (speaker) recounting advice his father gave: not to marry on love alone because love doesn’t last and marriage requires work. He describes that he and his wife Susan invested time and effort into their marriage, viewing it as an evolving project and expressing gratitude for having found the right partner.

Some cynical advice I got from my dad that has proved to be very valuable. When I was growing up, my dad said, hey, when you get married, don't get married on love alone, because that doesn't last. What he was really telling me was, marriage requires work. I'm very fortunate that my dad gave me that advice, because when I got married, I understood that, hey, this is work. And my wife and I spent a lot of time. Susan and I spent a lot of time actually working on our marriage because it's something that evolves over time and fortunate that I found the right person.
