About This Quote

When you are married, you have less time for yourself. You have to spend your time doing things that you may not enjoy as much as you used to. This is because you have a partner who needs attention and care all the time. This makes it harder for couples to commit fully to each other. When they do, they tend to lose themselves in their relationship and it is possible that they will not be able to return to being themselves.
