When I look at my friend's marriages, with their routine day-to-dayness, they actually seem far more romantic than any dating relationship might be. Dating seems romantic, but for the most part it's an extended audition. Marriage seems boring, but for the most part it's a state of comfort and acceptance.

She goes to the doctor appointment with him. They listen to each other's daily trivia. They put up with each other's quirks. They're there for each other. —Lori Gottlieb in Marry Him More about this quote Tags: kindness acceptance relationship comfort dating Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
