My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away.

I do not need a reason to be angry with God.

People want to believe that every marriage is perfect balance but it isn't. One person always loves more deeply than the other

And for the briefest instant, it almost feels like we're together again.

What good is talking if neither of you are really committed? If one of you had an affair or got addicted to drugs or was abusive, simply talking about it wouldn;t take the hurt away; or fix the trust that's been lost. In the end, marriage comes down to actions. I think people talk too much about the things that bother them, instead of actually doing the little things that keep a marriage strong.

That was the dirty secret associated with her past. Not that she'd been abused but that somehow she felt that she deserved it because she'd let it happen. Even now, it shamed her, and there were times when she felt hideously ugly, as though the scars that had been left behind were visible to everyone.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.
