Believer
- Love is not an object as you talk about it. I feel very sad for people who do not believe in the magic of LOVE!!! You are missing out on the very best experience in life. You are missing the juice and core of our existence.

Shot Gun Weddings
- If you have a baby out of wedlock, both parents have to marry each other. A marriage that feels forced, will always have the strain of obligation.

Why buy a cow when you can get free milk
- As a young woman, I was warned against living with my man before marriage -- "Why buy a cow when you can get free milk?" But I didn't see it that way and neither did he. Not only did we marry, we've been together 35 years and it's been great. A good sexual relationship is part of marriage, but it's not the only reason to get married. Maybe he wanted the milk, but he also wanted the whole cow!
