About This Quote
When someone is brought up to respect the conventions, they are forced into a situation that they cannot control. The only thing that they can control is marriage. They are expected to be faithful to their spouse no matter what. However, when this happens, you never get to know what love truly entails.
And, when you do not get to know what love truly entails, it is hard to measure if you are in love or not. When you are not in love, marriage means nothing. It is only a contract, an agreement between two people who have no chemistry or any other positive or negative energy.
