Addiction is the hallmark of every infatuation-based love story.

People will always want intimacy with one chosen person and you cannot have intimacy without privacy, which is why couples draw circles of privacy around themselves. They demand that family, neighbors and the law respect their union, and that is why we have marriage.

I'm afraid many women do choose the wedding over the marriage. It seems a steep price to pay, but it comes from a place of deep, sad longing to be loved and to have it proven that you are of value.

There are always two figures in a marriage, two votes, two conflicting sets of decisions, desires and limitations.

Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots.

A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving.
