About This Quote
This quote is a thought-provoking truth. When you enter into marriage, you are putting your heart on the line. You are saying that you will fight for the person that you love more than anything in this world. You are saying that you have learned so much about yourself and about life in general.
You are saying that if your partner can trust you enough to share your life with him or her, then they are worthy of being called your partner. And, when you have children, you are saying that your partner will be there for all of your children’s birthdays, their first days of school, their first steps and words of wisdom. It is a statement that says that each person is important to the other person, that their relationship matters to them beyond their own self-interests.
