3PM PostSecret 2

I actually think this is an incredibly healthy thing. At least potentially. Because it means he recognizes that a good marriage is far more valuable than a good job. But which one does our culture put more priority on? How much do we all say, “a good education is vital” and spend money and time toward that end so that someone can be well-employed (and other reasons, sure)? And how much do we say, “knowing how to be a good spouse and find a good spouse is vital” and devote an equivalent amount of time and effort to training toward that outcome? But the really fascinating thing here is that he seems to think this is a “secret” to be revealed or is something shameworthy, and that itself speaks volumes about the disturbed condition of our culture.
