About This Quote

People keep on getting married. Evidently hope is eternal in the human breast. People can’t help themselves. They are glad to get married when they are in the middle of the process, but they soon begin to realize that their hopes weren’t realized.

They were swept away by the romance of the moment, never thinking about the long-term consequences. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do about it now. If they want to be happy, they have to put their trust in God and remember what it was like when they were falling in love for the first time.
