Beautiful framing of the agricultural metaphor here. The idea that marraige actively attacks self-centeredness rather than just passively revealing it really shifts the perspective. I've noticed in my own relatinship how the small daily sacrifices compound way faster than grand gestures. The practical examples at the end like turning frustration into teaching moments are gold.
