Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can’t live without. – james c. Dobson

I didn’t marry you because you were perfect. I didn’t even
Marry you because i loved you. I married you because you
Gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults.

Protected them; and it wasn’t our love that protected them – it was that
Promise.
Thornton wilder,

Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
