These are some wise words. I'm just about to celebrate my six wedding anniversary. My wife and I had been together for 5 years before we got married, and the six years we've now spent married have been great, but they've also been a struggle. We value each other though, and realize that struggle is an inevitability when you have two people who are passionate about things they want to do in their lives. The key is working with your partner and not against them. And to realize that their freedom is also your own.
