"A marriage so
free, so spontaneous, that it would
allow of wide excursions of the pair
from each other, in common or even
in separate objects of work and
interest, and yet would hold them
all the time in the bond of absolute
sympathy, would by its very freedom
be all the more poignantly
attractive, and by its very scope
and breadth all the richer and more
vital -- would be in a sense
indestructible."
Edward
Carpenter,
Love's Coming of Age
As long as I
do not view the idea of marriage
like a microwave dinner but more
like a 20 course homemade Italian
family dinner, I know for a fact
that I will have a relationship that
will truly satisfy.
Allow me to
use a word picture:
instant
oatmeal cooking time vs. steel cut
oats cooking time
instant
gratification vs. long term
investment
fast food vs.
home cooked meal
What do I want
OUT of the relationship vs. What do
I GIVE TO the relationship.
You get what
you put in.
Chew on that
for a minute.

"Because when
we love, we always strive to become
better than we are. "
Paulo Coelho, in
The Alchemist
"The most
wonderful of all things in life, I
believe, is the discovery of another
human being with whom one's
relationship has a glowing depth,
beauty, and joy as the years
increase. This inner progressiveness
of love between two human beings is
a most marvelous thing, it cannot be
found by looking for it or by
passionately wishing for it. It is a
sort of Divine accident. "
Sir Hugh Walpole
"Being deeply
loved by someone gives you strength;
loving someone deeply gives you
courage. "
Lao Tzu
'All,
everything that I understand, I
understand only because I love. '
Leo
Tolstoy
"At the touch
of love, everyone becomes a poet. "
Plato
"What is done
out of love always takes place
beyond good and evil. "
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Love does not
fail for you when you are rejected
or betrayed or apparently not loved.
Love fails for you when you reject,
betray, and do not love. "
Adi Da
"Marriage -
It's not about religion, it's not
about morality, it's about
commitment...

the center of your relationships."
