Do you think it's possible to finally decide that you really, truly love someone but not end up marrying him?

Robin Jones Gunn
About This Quote

Nowadays, marriage is often just a formality. People are allowed to have their relationships without being bound by it. This is likely because people these days are very busy and their lives are full of activities. It is hard to give up all of your time for someone else when you have so much to do.

This is why it’s not easy to make the decision to marry someone you love yet never marry them because you are afraid of losing them. The fear of losing the person you love makes you look at them through rose-colored glasses, making it very hard for you to see what they really want out of life.
