Quotations
Marriage
Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%. This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.
-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What we do for each other before marriage is no indication of what we will do after marriage.
