Love/Relationships/Marriage



People fall in love with personality, but marry character.

Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb.  It isn't something you get.  It is something you do.  It's the way you love your partner everyday.

Although the rule is that opposites attract, there is no promise opposites will always get along!

Risk more than others think is safe, 
Care more than others think is wise, 
Dream more than others think is practical, 
Expect more than others think is possible.
