In the modern industrialized Western world, where I come from, the person whom you choose to marry is perhaps the single most vivid representation of your own personality. Your spouse becomes the most gleaming possible mirror through which your emotional individualism is reflected back to the world. There is no choice more intensely personal after all, than whom you choose to marry; that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are.Elizabeth Gilbert
About This Quote
The quote tells us that marriage is an important decision for people, so they have to think about it carefully. Marriage is not just a business relationship, but a real love between two people. It is the most important decision of our life because without it, our family will be broken. We can choose two different people for ourselves and we do not need to worry about the result of the marriage because you can never know if your choice is right or wrong.
