Ultimately The Bond Of All Companionship

“Ultimately the bond of all companionship, 

whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, 

and conversation must have a common basis, 

and between two people of widely different 

culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level.”

~ Oscar Wilde

Single Is No Longer A Lack Of Options

“Single is no longer a lack of options – but a choice. 

A choice to refuse to let your life be defined 

by your relationship status but to live every day 

Happily and let your Ever After work itself out.”

~ Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: 

Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

My Wife And I

“My wife and I just don't have the same 

feelings for each other we used to have. 

I guess I just don't love her anymore 

and she doesn't love me. What can i do?"

"The feeling isn't there anymore?" I asked.

"That's right," he reaffirmed. "And we 

have three children we're really 

concerned about. What do you suggest?"

"love her," I replied.

"I told you, the feeling just isn't there anymore."

"Love her."

"You don't understand. the feeling of love just isn't there."

"Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, 

that's a good reason to love her."

"But how do you love when you don't love?"

"My friend, love is a verb. 

Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb. 

So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. 

Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. 

Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?”

I Don't Understand Dating

“I don't understand dating... 

and the other things that people do... 

all I know is that you ought to find the one you recognize.

There's only one of those, 

so what are all the other things for? 

Like dating?”

~ C. JoyBell C.

Hugh And I

“Hugh and I have been together for so long 

that in order to arouse extraordinary passion, 

we need to engage in physical combat. 

Once, he hit me on the back of the head 

with a broken wineglass, 

and I fell to the floor pretending to be unconscious. 

That was romantic, or would have been 

had he rushed to my side rather than 

stepping over my body to fetch the dustpan.”

~ David Sedaris, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

“My love is pizza shaped. 

Won’t you have a slice?
