A marriage takes work. You have to constantly put energy into it to keep it from falling apart. Going nowhere takes energy. Stability isn't what you get when you do nothing. It's what you can hope to achieve when you work hard.

Joshua Edward Smith
About This Quote

Marriage is a partnership. You have to put in a lot of time and effort to keep a marriage going. If you don't put any effort into a relationship, it will die from neglect, which is the same as going nowhere. On the other hand, if you work hard to make your relationship stay strong, then you will have a stable one that will last a long time.

The good news is that stability isn't something that happens when you do nothing. The bad news is that stability isn't something you can hope for when you do nothing.
