Marriage is not about compatibility, companionship, or extracting happiness. It is an opportunity to achieve a union that will open up a greater possibility.

Prejudice is poison, fed to us from an early age by our families, religions, and societies.

You want to be loved because you feel incomplete. Otherwise, being loved can be quite a nuisance.

To be committed to each other beyond success and failure, health and ill-health, life and death – that’s what makes you a family.

Do not underestimate negative relationships. You have a deep bond with those you hate, fear, or envy.
