wisdom on marriage
I found this poignant Ralph Waldo Emerson quote over at The Common Room, in this post which also shares a wonderful poem "for the truly married".
"Love is temporary and ends with marriage. Marriage is the perfection which love aimed at- ignorant of what it sought. Marriage is a good known only to the parties, - a relation of perfect understanding, aid, contentment, possession of themselves and of the world, -which dwarfs love to green fruit."
Go, read the poem, you'll be thoughtfully blessed.
