Never marry a person who is not a friend of your excitement.

Nathaniel Branden
About This Quote

Marriage is a serious step. There are a lot of implications that come with it, the most obvious being the fact that you are now legally bound to another person until death do you part. If you get married without having had a friendship with your partner, you’ll probably end up feeling more like a roommate than a husband or wife. If you find yourself in this situation, try to fix things before it’s too late.
