You marry who you think your beloved is, and then discover who they really are over the years. It’s that discovery that makes a marriage work.

About This Quote

The quote, “You marry who you think your beloved is, and then discover who they really are over the years. It’s that discovery that makes a marriage work” by Elizabeth Spencer, is a reminder to never make a decision based on love alone. In other words, don't get married for love because true love can never be found in a marriage. No matter how much we may want it to be true, true love is rare and when we do find it we should treasure it and not rush into another relationship.
