About This Quote

When you are in love, you can’t think of anything else. Your heart is so full that you cannot find the space in your head to begin to think about anything else. It’s that instant when you know that this person is the one for you and you want to spend the rest of your life with them. You want to be with them every second of every day for the rest of your life.

This quote is saying that if he had married Mrs. Albert Grantham for her money, I would have no doubt that no man marries without a reason. This means that he did marry her because he loved her.
