“As to whether you should get married, I offer the same advice given to me by a Sunday school teacher when I was eight years old: "Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry the person you think you can't live without." “
*********************
“The exhilaration of infatuation feels like love at its best, but it is never a permanent condition. If you expect to live on that emotional mountaintop year after year, you are headed for trouble. Emotions swing from high to low in cyclical rhythm, and since the romantic excitement is an emotion, it, too, will certainly oscillate.
How, then, can real love be distinguished from temporary infatuation? It takes time. Couples contemplating marriage should make no important, life-changing decisions quickly or impulsively. When in doubt, step back and allow more time to pass before the decision is made.”
