I thought this was a good quote:

"What other words, we may almost ask, are memorable and worthy to be repeated than those which love has inspired? It is wonderful that they were ever uttered.

We should not dare to repeat these now aloud. We are not compentent to hear them at all times." A Week On The Concord and Merrimack Henry David Thoreau

When you marry someone, you marry three of them.

You marry the person you think they are.

You marry the person that they really are.

And you marry the person they will become as a result of being married to you.
