Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair has to do with immediate personal satisfaction. Marriage is an ordeal; it means yielding, time and again.

Because you are not giving to the other person, it is not impoverishing — it is life-building, life-fostering, enriching. —Joseph Campbell More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
