Marriage
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.

A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
