Two who love each other must be friends in the same sense that any two people of the same sex are friends. They want to confide in each other, to talk things over, and to share amusement, ideas, disappointment and grief. They tend to see life in each other's eyes. They are at ease and comfortable with each other, as good friends always are.
Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. -- Ursula K. LeGuin
Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. --Marianne Williamson
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. -- Anonymous
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash. -- Joyce Brothers
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction -- Antoine de Saint Exupery
It's not about being free of strife or doubt. It's not about endless comfort or satisfaction. It is about commitment to stand with, and in, each other to fend off the slings and arrows of real life as they come. Perfection in our marriage is about resiliency to withstand and grow from whatever shows up for us. A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.
