About This Quote
It is said that married people who are having marital difficulties are often the ones who really don’t love each other. Therefore, when they talk about their problems, which are often based on the fact that they are not truly in love with each other, it is easy for people to fall for this. When the couple comes to an agreement about what they need to do to solve their differences, they often find out that their “love” was just an excuse.
