As someone who has talked to two different pastors for counseling on this very topic in the past week, my feeling is that:

When you are willing and do give 100% to your relationship, putting that person in the front of whatever your plans may be

AND

When that person ALSO is willing and does give 100% to your relationship, putting you in front of whatever plans are made.

Marriage isn't 50/50% - it's 100/100% There's a lot of sacrifice involved, but it has to be made by both partners, not just one. It's when you start to think as "we" and "our" and forget about "me" and "mine".
