Tarzan and Jane Marriage Series

Written By Jen

Why Tarzan & Jane?

I chose Tarzan and Jane for humor’s sake—but also for truth’s sake. Tarzan represents the age-old joke: men can be all-in during the pursuit, yet sometimes seem clueless after the “happily ever after” begins. Jane represents the quiet ache many women feel when the noticing fades.

Humor softens the heaviness, because marriage is no light matter. Even couples with decades of history know storms return, and laughter can be the only thing that keeps us sane while we talk about the hard parts.

What This Series Is About

The Tarzan & Jane Marriage Series isn’t about perfect couples—it’s about real ones.

It’s about the small cracks that erode intimacy: the kiss forgotten, the coffee cup left empty, the screens that steal attention, the silence that grows louder than words. It’s about the doubts that creep in when we feel unnoticed, and the numbing that threatens when hope begins to fade.

But it’s also about the turning points—the clumsy efforts to reconnect, the sparks of hope that rebuild trust, the small daily choices that bring laughter and closeness back again.
