About This Quote
Rather than having just one or two emotional lovers in your life, you should embrace the opportunity to experience the full range of human emotions with people that are more suited to long-term relationships. A love affair done right is a great experience. It’s an opportunity to feel all of the ups and downs of love, which makes it all the more special. But there’s also something to be said for long-term relationships.
Love affairs are refreshing because they are short-lived. Long-term relationships are less about the actual relationship and more about time spent together. The more time you spend with someone, the more you get to know them.
The more you get to know them, the more you get to love them.
