My son and I enjoy looking at Ferraris, Maseratis and Porsches. Occasionally the showroom contains an Aston Martin or a Rolls-Royce too. 
This last time we visited the showroom we noticed that most of the cars had ceramic brakes.
The ceramic brakes were noticeable on each high-end vehicle with vibrant colors like canary yellow and fire engine red.
When we arrived home my son began his research on ceramic brakes. He discovered ceramic brakes are a great option instead of metal brakes or organic brakes because ceramic brakes help high-end vehicles stop quickly. Furthermore he learned that ceramic brakes don't heat up as much as metal brakes or organic brakes. And they leave less residue.
What about cost? They cost quite a bit more the metallic brakes or organic brakes.
Ceramic brakes are a great marriage metaphor.
Marriage demands a high cost to ensure that we won't heat up with anger not leave contentious debris or residue and will be able to stop our erroneous behavior quickly.
I think of several people who are the ceramic brakes in their relationship. They remain calm, help stop high speed, erratic behavior and ensure smooth marriage.
