Hi Jennifer, I'm a big fan of yours and have been for a while. I love that you and your wife are still a strong and loving couple. As a transitioning mtf who is married, my wife is very loving and supportive, although certainly questioning what our future holds. What are some things I can do to ensure I continue to support her? Based on your personal experiences, what are some pitfalls I should try to avoid? Any other words of advice on marriage?

Hi Pandada. Thank you for reaching out. :) My wife is very active on mpit. I believe the two of you may have corresponded in the past.

Edit to say: You and your wife are also an inspiration. <3

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and eloquent response. We both realize we have a long and difficult path ahead of us, but we both agree that our love and commitment to each other is important enough to keep compromising and trying to work out our differences.

It's so rare to find couples that stay together through transition. You and your wife are an inspiration to those of us that are trying to transition as a couple. Thank you for all you do for the community, but especially thank you for the inspiration.

Inspirational people tend to think that about themselves. It's part of what makes them so. :)
