Neva is approaching 30 years of marriage, and if there’s one lesson that has stood the test of time, it’s this: I don’t own him. As a military wife, Neva learned early on to figure things out on her own. But she also realized marriage is a team effort. You share the same mission, but you each have different roles.

Marriage isn’t about control. It’s about trust, respect, and working with each other, not against each other. There will be checks and balances, but never fault. Keeping score only creates distance.

The biggest freedom in marriage comes when you let go of the need to control. He doesn’t own you, and you don’t own him. You are teammates, and when you embrace that, marriage becomes about moving forward together.

So take this lesson with an open heart and mind—marriage isn’t about ownership, it’s about partnership.
