Some men are more perfect than others.

There are some decisions in life that only you can make.

Love is short, forgetting is long, and understanding longer still.

Men who take advantage of one woman take advantage of them all.

Marriage is supposed to do everything, like Duz, which is more than half its problem. It is said to save us, define us, give us purpose, keep us from loneliness, and incidentally balance our diet and wash our socks, and when it doesn't, we get divorced.

There are no perfect men of course, but some are more perfect than others, and we can use all of those we can get.

I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. The kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.
