A couple is an intersection of two families. Even a short-term relationship brings with it a certain amount of baggage, but a long-term, committed relationship is that point at which two different families are joined, with their own histories, values, traditions and idiosyncracies.
It makes me very happy when I look at the large extended family I am part of, which includes our closest friends. Even the nuts in my bowl of mixed ingredients make me proud that I am a part of such a glorious cacophany of different people.
