And suddenly it's all so ridiculously and stupidly clear I feel like laughing. This is what I want. This is the only thing i've ever wanted. Everything else---every single second of every single day that has come before this very moment, this kiss---has meant nothing.

About This Quote

In the movie, “Casablanca,” Humphrey Bogart said, "Play it again, Sam" when he wanted to have more of Ingrid Bergman. The phrase is a request that an actor re-act a role in a film. This is similar to our idea in marriage in that we want to have a second chance at a first love. We often arrive at this point in our lives when we do not understand how far we have fallen or how much we have given up in trying to reach our goal.

In order for us to feel satisfied and complete, all that must be forgotten and replaced with the ending of the movie “Casablanca.” We must wipe out all of the pain and sadness from years ago and remember what it feels like when everything fell into place. If we can do this, then we will truly know why we married our spouse and can finally say with confidence, "I married my best friend."
