Remember marriage week? Well this is why I will never be one of those popular bloggers, it just takes a backseat to life. I had a hard time formulating my "being the right person" post and then my dad started requiring more concentrated care. That meant no time for blogging. But I just wanted to end it with a couple of quotes:
"Being happily and successfully married is generally not so much a matter of marrying the right person as it is being the right person.” -Howard W. Hunter
“A happy marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion.” -Gordon B. Hinckley
And this one isn't about being the right person, it's just a good one that my friend Angela showed me:
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two." -Louis De Bernieres
